Now in its sixth year, the Digital Design Weekend brings together over a hundred artists, designers, technologists and the public, to share contemporary digital art and design, take part in interactive installations and labs, engage in conversations, and learn about processes.
Over the weekend we will be taking over the Museum to showcase a big programme of cutting edge, international digital projects, as well as performances, talks, open workshops and family-friendly activities, exploring engineering, civic design, making and collaboration.
