With over 20 years of experience of capacity building at all Government levels, Joseph Caristena is a specialist in building the required and necessary “Aqui Culturelle” and “AI Ecosystem” for the new paradigms of the III millennium, helping teams to give priority on what really matters and understand what needs to be done and avoiding to reinvent the wheel and converting complexity into simple concepts.
He worked successfully with many “Government Information Agencies” always focused in bringing these environments to the next level not only with the adoption of the best workflow automated pipeline digital architectures, but also explaining the importance of the taxonomy of knowledge.
As EU DG NEAR TAIEX expert focused on “Capacity Building”, Joseph Caristena gives technical assistance for information exchange to trigger and accelerate the “cultural harmonization process” required between nations to better understand each other’s national identity.
Joseph Caristena as a well experienced worldwide speaker designed and updated an experimental LIVE cross-disciplinary authentic narration technique called “Ekphrases” which is an ancient mind journey experience to strengthen and empower social intercultural dialogue, social perception and to reduce at the same time social distance.
This research is important because emotions play a crucial role in the processing of all kind of media content perception (artworks included), and specifically, in the enjoyment and experience associated with them.
There is a wide spectrum of emotions and sensations occurring in response to the perceived aesthetic appeal of stimuli determined by a cultural performance (which must not be considered only as an art performance performed by artists, but also as a human interaction like a simple discussion).
The Mediterranean Basin has been the cradle of world civilization since the first settlements. Today in our turbolent age, history recalls the Mediterranean cultural heritage to play a crucial role in promoting dialogue and intercultural understanding.
Joseph Caristena is a performer and a worldwide keynote speaker of social innovation, digital transformation and planetary transition.
Planetary transformation and transition are the next threat of human kind.
We must not repeat in Space the same mistakes done on Earth.
Rethink the way you think!
