John Thackara is renowned internationally for his work as director of the design innovation network, Doors of Perception. Doors creates projects and festivals in which designers, together with grassroots innovators and other citizens, develop new services and products for daily life. This unique network of paradigm-changing designers and grassroots innovators is inspired by two questions: 'what might life in a sustainable world be like?'; and, 'what design steps are needed to get us there?'. John has lectured in more than 40 countries and is the author of 12 books; his latest is In the bubble: designing in a complex world (MIT Press 2005).

John Thackara will be moderating the morning session of Pixelache University seminar on Friday 14 March, and will be giving a talk The Face to Face Meeting in The Age of Digital Reproduction in Traveling without moving seminar on Saturday 15 March.
