‘The unforeseen has a hard time happening because it is not yet in the database’, Hito Steyerl

Join the next Hackers & Designers meetup at the H&F building!

- Artist and image addict Coralie Vogelaar will share some of her findings that she came across during her quantitative analyses on popular archetypes of news photography.

- Bart Jeukendrup bravely demonstrates the complexity of his Neural Networks in a way that simple that beginners and non will be able to understand.

- Image journalist and editor Frank Schallmaier will talk about news photography and decision making processes. When are photo’s special, interesting, important,… ?
