Session 1 - 9:30 – 12:00 : Back to the Real

The last decades have been marked by the development of what we have called “virtual” as opposed to “real” and similar to “immaterial”. With the Internet of things, the subject returns in the information systems. No information can exist without material equipment and vice-versa; this means that “virtual” is not opposed to “real”, but rather “virtual” is a possible expression of “real.”

Speakers :
- Alain Seban – President of the Centre Georges Pompidou: Introduction
- Bernard Stiegler – Director of the Institute for Research and Innovation (IRI): Reticulated Objects and Hyperobjectivity
- Alain Cadix – Director of the ENSCI – Les Ateliers: The New Industrial World and New Design Spaces
- Bernard Benhamou – Delegate for Internet Uses: From Mobile Internet to the Internet of Objects : Economy, Technology, and Policy
- Henri Verdier – President of Cap Digital: The Mediatization of Everyday Objects

Session 2 - 2:00 – 4:00pm: The New Industrial Object

The new industrial world produces a new industrial object, but the path is rather different from Simondon’s “concretization process”. This neo-object record event produces others, and organizes itself with other objects animated by subjects. In other words, the Internet of objects also designs the intersection of possibilities and alternatives which will define this new industrial world.

Speakers :
- Jean-Louis Frechin – Designer-Architect, NoDesign.net, Director of the Digital Design Workshop of the ENSCI-Les Ateliers: The Design of Neo-objects
- Nicolas Nova – Researcher at LiftLab: Users in New Digital Objects
- Frédéric Kaplan – Researcher at EPFL: The Metamorphosis of Objects
- Jean-Luc Beylat – President of Alcatel-Lucent: Strategy, Vision of Internet of Objects

Session 3 - 5:15 - 6:00 pm : New Standards, New Software and New Infrastructures for the Neo-object

The Internet of objects cannot exist without sensors, and sensors require compatibility, communication standards, etc. The new industrial world has undeniably become more than a challenge, itself motivating the Internet, either by submitting it to a logic of centralized, secret and ever-powerful control, or, on the contrary by emphasizing its redistributed and highly contributory character.

Speakers :
- Xavier Barras – Director of Innovation and Technology GSI France: Traceability : History and Perspectives
- Christian Fauré – Head Architect for Cap Gemini: Cloud Computing and the Internet of Objects
- Valérie Peugeot – Sofrecom Consultant: Open Data, Mobile Data, What do we Share on the Web?

7:00 – 11:00pm : THE CROSSROAD OF POSSIBILITIES

The FING (Next-Generation Internet Foundation) will hold a “Crossroads of Possibilities” tailored to this event. A dozen of young entrepreneurs’ projects will be presented on:

- The cell phone as an object – new interfaces, new services, new uses
- Radio-identification (RFID) objects, machine-to-machine
- New objects/interfaces, multi-sensory, new sensors
- Digital cultural instruments, musical instruments, sensory motor interfaces
- Spatiotemporal integration (or including a temporal function, clock, agenda…)
- Programmable and open source objects
- Object kits, do-it-yourself objects (for amateurs)
- Protection and portability of personal data (control of communicating objects)
- IP v6 service, supervision, standardisation
- Micro-objects, nano-objects, medical sector
- “Useless” objects, advertising, brand name objects, emotional objects
- Robotics
- Virtual communicating objects, agents, crawlers…
- Enhanced reality devices
- Educational objects
This event is organized by Denis Pansu, coordinator of the Carrefour des possibles network and Philippe Nikolov, RobotCité and Carrefour des Possibles coordinator for the Ile de France region.

Session 4 - 9:30-12:00 : Open Innovation and Unfinished Objects

Could this neo-object system become a large open source mechanical data processing system? Today “object-hacking” (for biosynthesis or nano-objects) and “do it yourself” have become the field catchwords, and may well represent a global economic contribution. The value of the object is no longer simply based on its customization but rather on its implementation.

Speakers :
- Daniel Kaplan – Managing Director of the FING – From Fabless to Fablab, the Internet’s Innovation Model Applied to Industrial Objects
- Massimo Banzi – Co-founder of the Arduino project: Hackers and makers
- Julian Bleecker – Designer, Researcher–Nokia Design: When Connecting Things Becomes Possible: 7 Corners of an Evolved Networked Episteme
- Adam Greenfield – Director Nokia: Public Objects: Connected things and civic responsibilities in the networked city

Session 5 - 1:45–3:45pm : A New Object Organization

Tactile interaction is slowly emerging with communicating objects like the IPhone. Today the touch function extends from the finger to the hands and the entire body… any sort of human interaction being the driver and moving to the family unit and the entire household.

Speakers :
- Georges Amar – Manager of innovative prospective and development division at the RATP: From Transit to Reliance: the New Paradigm for Urban Mobility
- François-David Sebbah – Philosophy Lecturer at the Compiègne Technical University: Phenomenology of the Entire Body and all Intimate Reticulated Space
- Benoît Heilbrunn – Marketing Professor at the ESCP: Brand Names in a Neo-object Context

Session 6 - 4:00– 6:00pm : The Industrialization of Transitional Objects and Refiguring of Intimate Spaces in the Inter-objectivity of Networks

Addressed in another era for a different matter, the challenge of “encoding knowledge on individuals” has been described in Surveiller et punir. It can be tailor-encoded for individuals regarding their own production of objects or organization, or result in hyper-consumers who eagerly and blindly contribute to an extraordinarily sophisticated form of voluntary servitude.
