The H&D Summer Academy of 2018 includes workshops, lectures, a film night and publishing activities. The program addresses hackers/designers/makers who are not afraid to open, break or rethink software and hardware, and recognize the importance of researching ethical consequences that arise in our contemporary information society.
Are you interested in using and pushing the boundaries of existing technology and programming platforms (webware, hardware, software), networks online/offline (internet, IPFS, darknet, peer 2 peer, blockchain, bot networks), and user experience? Are you a hands-on kind of person? Are you looking for collaboration? Submit a workshop proposal!
Workshop proposals
Tips for submitting workshop proposals:
- Workshops should be either 1-2 day, 1-day, or 2-days
- Hands-on means of making should stay central
- The proposal should cover both design as well as programming. If you are short on one side consider finding a collaborator via the H&D or your own.
- Giving a workshop can be quite intensive. We therefore advise to collaborate with 1 or 2 people on submitting proposals.

About the H&D Summer Academy 2018
Questioning “the liberal promise of the Internet as a distributed mass communication tool”1 H&D promotes hands-on making, cross-disciplinary collaboration and encounters with technology as means of ‘going public’ and uses the H&D Summer Academy as an occasion to discuss and question proprietary software and closed systems. The workshops of the H&D Summer Academy shall function as satellites reaching a wider audience outside of the maker-space itself to pose questions such as: Who owns information? Who directs data flows and who enables or limits access to information? Living and working in a post-truth reality how can we stay or become informed users and critical makers? Can we (re)build independent environments that shape our future practices? How can the practice of ‘critical making’2 enable citizens to take part in debates around complex matters such as machine learning?
