Selected Materials from the 2nd SoL Global Forum

More than 420 participants from six continents and 20 countries came together to share ideas and explore how the theme of "Leveraging complexity to create knowledge and confidence" is reflected in themselves, their work, their community, and the world. We want to thank all the SoL community members and other volunteers who participated in the meeting as keynote speakers, session presenters, support staff, and design team members.

Francisco Varela: How Do We Find Knowledge? by Christoph Mandl
Creating knowledge is still an enigma. This we did explore. A few weeks before Francisco Varela's death the Swiss film director Franz Reichle did an extensive interview with Varela. This interview together with earlier talks of Varela has now become an 80 minutes film called "Monte Grande - What is Life?" - see also www.montegrande.ch. This document is the press kit for this film.
