The theme of the Mobile Talk is “#independent/#collective”. Far from the descriptive meaning, these two words are the responses for the diversified collaboration forms in our society reacted to technology and social media in the 21st century.

Small is beautiful, but cooperative power is also noticeable, depends on scope and objective of different collaboration forms bring surprising chemistries, the precision of ‘One’ and and dynamics of ‘Multiple’ each demonstrates terrific outcomes in creative process, while some cases even composed of both independent and collective form. In other words, the notion of #independent and #collective is never an opposite, rather it is interrelated and indispensable in our working model nowadays.

The trend of #independent/#collective leads to a new horizon and area for sharing, commons, open source and co-working, enhancing the depth and efficiency for collaboration without borders.
