The Hackers & Designers Summer Academy is approaching. <br

Amsterdam, The Netherlands. <br class="">
<br class="">
… and there are still spots available!<br class="">

<br class="">
The program will center around the controversial topic of immaterial
labor, and the effects digital economies have on our current
techno-society, – an on-going discussion at stake in both design/art
and developer practices. H&D engages this year’s summer academy
participants to go into discussion and critically reflect on their
(digital) activities that exist outside/alongside the traditional
wage-based definition of labor. What does it mean for the future of
our practices to contribute to creative commons and open source
projects, to self-initiate, to organize communities, to promote and
publish on social networks, to perpetually generate content, to
evolve multiple identities as bloggers, vloggers, mojo
contributors…?<br class="">

About Hackers & Designers<br class="">
<br class="">
H&D believes designers and artists should be empowered with the
tools of the digital realm including coding and hardware usage and
construction. Conversely technologists should be more comfortable
and effective in engaging in creative processes through familiarity
with the vocabulary of designers and artists. All disciplines sho <a

become more comfortable in theoretical and social discourse, and
thus be asking questions such as not only can we but should we.<br
