<nettime> 'Making Matters' conference in The Hague, Netherlands

Bridging Art, Design and Technology through Critical Making

Tickets € 7,50-20: https://tinyurl.com/MakingMattersSymposium

The partners and researchers of the project Bridging Art, Design and Technology through Critical Making are excited to announce the two-day symposium Making Matters. The symposium takes place from 9-10th of May at West Den Haag, Lange Voorhout 102 in The Hague.

Making Matters invites makers, artists, students, activists, theorists, designers, humans and non-humans to think about making practices and their critical potential. By offering opportunity for exchange across disciplines, the symposium attempts to shift the discourse of making from maker culture to a wider set of creative practices, thereby proposing alternatives to the solutionism of contemporary techno-creative industries.

The project ˜Bridging Art, Design and Technology through Critical Making' investigates how Critical Making — a notion originally developed in the context of social research, design and technology — can be adopted and developed in relation to artistic research and (post)critical theory.

Confirmed speakers include: Ramon Amaro / Liesbeth Bik / Loes Bogers / Letizia Chiappini / ginger coons / Florian Cramer / Dyne.org / Anja Groten / Frans-Willem Korsten / Pia Louwerens / Ulrike Möntmann / Shailoh Phillips / Dani Ploeger / Constant (Femke Snelting) / Janneke Wesseling
