thank you thank you very much I’m really
happy to be here I’m an artist my name
is Stephan I’m an artist and also a
social entrepreneur and unfortunately I
don’t speak Greek
I’m not Greek but I would like to start
my speech by the analyzing two words
that has Greek etymology the first one
is the word crisis crisis comes from a
Greek word that means Creasy crease is
the moment of the judgment the moment
you take a decision
the moment to get rid of something right
the other word is the word chaos that
means uncertainty and in Greek mythology
in the easier poem it is said that chaos
was one of the three pre-existing
elements necessary for the creation of
the universe in a way that certainty can
lead to creation and that is quite
interesting right today we hear all over
the world about crisis and chaos
Christian chaos in Greece Christian
chaos in France Christian chaos in the
u.s. in Asia all over the world we hear
about crises and chaos so if there is
crisis we need to get rid of something
right if there is chaos it means that
something new has to be created it
should be to happen for better societies
therefore I started to wonder what could
we do to make crisis and chaos ends and
do a better world and I went on Twitter
on Google so I strive to Google eyes how
could we stop crisis and first results
were quite interesting it was seven
years ago and the first result was it
was saying that we have to change the
system we have to change the system so I
start to wonder what is the system and I
read so many theories
I read political theories
I read sociological theories I read so
many Terry’s even the illuminate
histories and all those theories were
aiming and the main stream of these
theories was aiming at a saying this
definition let’s say that it’s a
non-formal alien’s between wealthy
people stark actions companies banks
that are pressuring governments and
media’s in order to protect their
interests many many theories but what
striking me even the most ridiculous
theory so the most serious one we’re all
sharing two assessments two ideas in
common the first one it was we are
living a crisis because we are living in
a pyramidal structure the second idea
was the parameter hierarchical structure
and I’m just going to show you a little
slide so these are the two main reasons
okay
we live in a pyramid we’re little people
as the power to take decisions for the
others the second main reason that all
those theories against the system were
sharing is that a small minority of the
people can maintain this power because
they created a dependency over the west
of the people that are struggling to
survive so let’s I try to figure it out
out I could analyze the first point so
we live in a parallel structure right
but I looked in human history even in
primitive societies like pre story or or
in the villages they always add a chief
and even in unsilent civilizations we
are here in Athens and it’s quite
interesting in Athens you created
democracy and in democracy the Athenian
democracy were only a small group of men
taking decisions for the rest of the
city what about women
what about woggs what about slaves it
was a kind of pyramid and after that
humanity we in humanity we had
Imperator’s kings monarchies in a way
living in a society implies necessary
thoroughly to let part of a freedom to
accept an authority in order to for
common interests to have a policy that
protects us to raise health care to
raise education so in a way living in a
society implies accepting a vertical
vertical walls and in a way living in a
pyramid so another idea came to me at
this moment and did strike me is that we
are living an historical moment right
now we are living the Rays of the
peer-to-peer world a world where we can
all participate we can see it in
politics with participative democracy in
Iceland and also in podemos we can see
it also with mobilization platforms like
Eva’s we’re all together we can vote for
petitions and influence for governments
we what about also the collaborative
economy we a B&B uber that brings also a
lot of problems such as also the
peer-to-peer info in fortune or Twitter
or Facebook and it brings also the
problem of the Phaeton as well there is
a new world with horizontal dynamics
that are conflicting with the old
classic vertical ones but we have we
have to live in society so this tension
is going to exist forever we have to
find the right balance so it could not
be the all I could not find the solution
on only this aspect so the second point
what what about money ok and this became
way more easy I went on Google again it
was in 2011 and in 2011 I found that
that 388 people were owing as much as
else as the poorest people on earth
let’s say that let’s imagine that we are
388 here ok the Reach’s guys that we
would owe as much as 3.5 billion people
we could crowd the poorest people in
Africa in Europe in South America we can
put all together they would they would
owe as much as all of us 2017 four
months ago the Ox I’m report said now
that there is not anymore
28 people possessing
as much as the poorest people only eight
guys it could be you girls here in the
front row you eight people you would all
as much as half of human earth this is
crazy
this is unsustainable in a way and why
is it instant stainable is because we’re
living in societies conception societies
where to be happy we need to go for
holidays we need to get a new shirt we
created many needs with it’s not the
shirt we need to have a big car or a big
house so everything is linked to the
money right so this is food for thought
it’s another thing but I came up this
for reflection about the system I come
up I came up with this reflection the
core of the problem it is not the system
that we created that how ancestors
created because we our ancestors were
the responsible of this mentality the
core of the problem is that we have to
change the values of humans interactions
and it’s and we are all responsible of
that right today human relations are
ruled by interests we do things looking
forward the counterpart right come a
counterpart that is often materializing
money the same money that belongs to the
system the system that we criticize but
we are all taking part of it right so I
at the end of this flexion I said ok so
basically the idea if you want to make
things change we have to create new
systems of interaction with new values
putting generosity putting mutual help
values at the core of the system this
would be the solution so I had an idea I
said ok let’s imagine that there is a
supreme power
ok let’s figure out there is a supreme
power here in the room ok and this
supreme power could come right now and
see how much you care for the others how
much every single of you are helping
NGOs how much you give a service and an
object to people without asking them any
counterpart right and this supreme force
let’s say God will call whatever you
want they could calculate it right now
ok so in 5 seconds let’s say that the
good vibe coefficients of any of you is
going to
here okay so you here at the first
roller can see that immediately let’s
say okay so I clap my hands I can see a
good vibe coefficients and I see that
you’re good vibe coefficient is quite
well it’s 90 percent it means that
you’ve been helping a lot of NGOs
anytime people ask you for help
you give it without asking any
counterpart that it shows that you care
a lot for the others for the world maybe
you participate you and your actions oh
good job and let’s figure out that right
after we we go and we have a drink yeah
and the piece of the beer let’s say we
have a beer you and I the parts of the
base two euros but since you are 90
percent good value coefficient the
bartender will give you a bill of 20
cents whereas me I would since I’m I’m a
selfish bastard
having helping the people and the others
I would have to pay six zeros this
system – sorry this system to me I had
the idea that this system would be the
most perfect
so as trial at I started to talk with
economists and famous professors and
they told me yeah you’re right you’re
absolutely right
this would be an amazing society but
this is it’s an Autopia it’s impossible
and you know why it’s impossible because
of human behaviors those economists were
proving my idea that I just that came up
to me but they told me the only thing is
that cannot happen it’s not because of
the system it is because of humans
behaviors so I didn’t give up I invented
how would be the system the Indigo
system inspired from an artistic or
concept that I that I invented that
indigo is the mix of the blue and the
red those two colors that divided the
world right after World War two right I
mean you’re saying that when nothing
we’re neither blue neither word neither
social is neither liberal right now we
are mix of everything well indigo so
this would be the indigo system with the
virtual currency because of course we
could could not create this system with
real money a virtual currency and a good
vibes coefficient that is the good valve
coefficient that I’ve just explained so
a good vibe coefficient that we take in
account the number of different users
you help
the users waiting even given by other
members the help given to nonprofits
that are able to ask for help on the
platform it’s a kind of revolution so
that NGOs can ask for help in the
platform and the last one would be the
number of different people you help yeah
that is so this is the good vice
coefficient and the second one is the
virtual currency with two criterias the
one is do the the currency on indigo is
virtual and the second one is that it is
non convertible okay so at the beginning
nobody would believe in it
Foundation’s wealthy people they did not
give me money because of what because
indigo was in Autopia because what
because people won’t adhere to the
system so during the two first years I
found out some developers we made the
first version and after that some
developers accepted to came and to make
an internship for six months and at the
end of two years I realized that it
won’t happen we needed two million euros
we made a qualifying campaign in France
some artists famous artists in France
they supported us and then we get 26
thousand euros 26 thousand euros 2
million euros we’re still far from it
but at this moment it wasn’t the most
important many many many people
contacted contacted her NGO some
developers and those guys says we’re
going to make the sacrifice to create
the system and what strike me the most
is during this crowdfunding campaign
people from 92 different countries wrote
to us it was in July 2015 and in July
2015 in Greece you were experimenting
the fear of the collapse of the system
we were in July and some students in
Athens Roach was telling us that they
could not take any more more than 60
euros per day at the bank and the banks
closed during a week and the fear was
everywhere so people wrote to us and at
this moment we realized that if
chaos was settling step-by-step in
France in other places they were
experimenting way more the crisis than
we were doing so after these two years
but many communities people in Africa in
different places they started to believe
in the project some volunteers created
like in Greece communities and I’m just
going to show you a little video of the
project

instructions from today’s the idea is to
find two profiles that would be
interested to enter or challenge my ten
very very interesting personally the
volunteer we don’t know from who
the wave is going to come it’s a miracle
that something comes to place so
somewhat hard work
the moment that you know land is going
to be very easy to grow around the city
of boredom I would say 450 people are
ready to pass the first version
[Music]
[Music]
Sanju Baba setelem is my Bianca
[Music]
thank you very much so to conclude I
think part of the solution is not maybe
indigo it’s all those solutions that
aiming at creating new caring economical
systems it can be local currencies
aiming at organizing the local trade and
also putting you may good values
generate values of generosity between
the people creating social fabric okay
the goal of the systems is not to
replace the current in classic system we
don’t want to build houses trade planes
we do local and complementary project
those are complementary projects and to
me changing the system passes to these
kind of solutions so anytime you can
engage yourself even into an NGO in any
other project I said creating maybe a
local currency or participate you to
local actions such as local action
systems that exist also all over the
world and also a little bit here in
Greece do engage yourself because it’s
step by step we are going to to change
to change the world so thank you very
much for for your attention
and just
just just one one more thing our
societies are interconnected you guys
here in greece are experimenting the
crisis like maybe a few countries in the
world but if a change happens here it
can impact the rest of the world we are
one thank you very much
