Davos: Dialog in the Dark
In one of the kookier news stories to come out of the mountain-top retreat at Davos this week, a German DJ proposes to subject executives to sensory deprivation in a totally dark room for an experiment in communications called Dialog in the Dark.
Participants will enter a totally dark room where they will only be able to communicate by sounds. All visual stimulation will cease. The man behind this experiment, Andreas Heinecke, notes that
The environment is nothing special for the blind people who are there to help them, but it’s a real shock for executives who rely on their egos and physical presence. . . They will have to listen closely, something most powerful men find difficult to do.
In what will obviously be a PowerPoint free zone one can only hope executives will experience what audience members at tedious keynotes have long enjoyed: a few moments without unnecessary visual stimuli. It’s known as a nap.
