New money: Designing digital central bank currencies
Can digital cash save the planet?
Money runs the world. So why not use currencies to shape the world we want?
This is the premise of Glenn Sæstad award winning master thesis from 2022.
Glenn will show us how Digital Central Bank Currencies could be used as a tool for reaching UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
For this project, Glenn was awarded with the Honorary award for design excellence from DOGA in 2023, the most high ranking design award from Design and Architecture Norway.
Join us for a introduction to the world of digital currencies, and a great example of speculative and strategic design.
