The Sonophilian

Now is our chance to embrace the future by understanding the past. Falk Kastell, a multi-disciplinary artist whose works excel on each level of his artistic activity and transcend time, is the Sonophilia Artist Fellow 2020.

The new episode of The Sonophilian features Holger Volland, the Vice President of the Frankfurt Book Fair and the founder of the Arts+, the digital content platform within the Book Fair. He is a passionate Sonophilian and claims that: "Creativity takes many years, if not an entire lifetime, to nurture." 

Holger believes in using our creative nerves as an instrument to solve the problems of the world, to think up new and better ways of doing things. Creativity is a skill inherent in everyone—it takes only a willingness, a space and sufficient time in one’s life. 

Absolutely agreed Holger!

Chances are, you’ve heard the phrase ‘think outside the box,’ but have you ever stopped to consider where that box came from, what’s in it, and who put it there in the first place? CEO and founder of FRAME Advisory and Sonophilian, Meg Charles-Horn, has made it her life’s work to help clients and new businesses break out of their boxes and limitations, which came about either by accident or design. 

The concept of breaking out of boxes is about being seen, having an identity without being constricted by a single way of doing things or a single way of thinking. In essence, this is precisely what attracted Meg to Sonophilia. In a business and entrepreneurial context, Meg explained it’s “about identifying and seeing the authentic and going from there.”

For CEO and founder of the leading artificial intelligence company Arago Hans-Christian Boos is a Sonophilian. To him, time is everything. Time is the quintessential factor that we all must thrive on to achieve success. He is a man on a mission, a mission to bring AI to the forefront of creativity and innovative thinking.

In this episode he is talking to the Sonophilia's editor in chief Maryam Ghaddar on AI, leadership, creativity and his involvement with the Sonophilia Network.
