H&D believes designers and artists, in a world moving more and more digital, should be empowered with the tools of the digital realm including coding and hardware usage and construction. Conversely programmers and makers should be more comfortable and effective in engaging in creative process through familiarity with the vocabulary of designers and artists. All disciplines should become more comfortable in theoretical and social discourse, and thus be asking questions such as not only “can we” but “should we”.
Every summer H&D invite an international group of ambitious participants for a 10 full-day immersive program, which focussed on learning, researching and discussing all by creating. Participants represented BE, BG, DE, NL, US, UK, ES, SK, TH, ZA.
Each day of the summer academy is programmed and structured with workshops, lectures, discussions, and experimentation. The first edition of the H&D Summer Academy took place in 2015, and was located in De PUNT - a community, art and project space in the east of Amsterdam.
