This event explores the theme of t(h)inkering—a practice that brings
together tinkering and thinking—in the contexts of living coding, hardware
hacking, the maker movement, media archaeology and design.


How can working with, making, reflecting on, subverting and performing with
tools and materials inspire new perspectives and approaches to knowledge?
Thinkering raises issues around doing-it- yourself (DIY) versus doing-it-
with-others (DIWO); ecology and obsolescence; and the tensions between
signs and signals; aesthetics and tools, ontology and epistemology.


If thinkering suggests new ways of approaching knowledge, practice-based
research, art and aesthetics, it also upend assumptions about academia as a
gate-keeper of knowledge, pointing to the proliferation of maker/hacker
labs, workshops and vernacular engagement with tools and materials. What
can thinkering tell us about the world?
