As part of the Voyages dans les systèmes obscurs (Journeys into Obscure Systems) project, Stéphane Degoutin and Gwenola Wagon will explore the latest methods of “happiness” coaching and the problems posed by positive psychology in the context of the current environmental crisis. Part conference, part performance, they will offer practical exercises to collectively experiment with the latest methods of seeking kindness in terms of coaching and artificial intelligence. The conference will be illustrated with film clips referring to the history of positive psychology, the ideologies of New Age movements, and their influence in the fields of marketing and greenwashing.
Voyages dans les systèmes obscurs (Journeys into Obscure Systems) is a laboratory workshop that offers investigations into invisible technical systems. It explores the hidden workings, infrastructures, and networks of globalized power, which have become increasingly obscure. Visiting invisibility.
