H&D Summer Talks
At the end of the Summer Academy Hackers & Designers invited cross-disciplinary speakers to take the participants and the public into a deeper conversation around topics, which have arose in our modern techno society and breached over the course of the Summer Academy. The speakers offered insights and diverse perspectives into their research, professional and artistic practices, all the while maintaining the satirical and humorous approach of Hackers & Designers.
