About the H&D Summer Academy 2018

Questioning “the liberal promise of the Internet as a distributed mass communication tool”1 H&D promotes hands-on making, cross-disciplinary collaboration and encounters with technology as means of ‘going public’ and uses the HDSA2018 as an occasion to discuss and question proprietary software and closed systems. The workshops of the HDSA2018 shall function as satellites reaching a wider audience outside of the maker-space itself to pose questions such as: Who owns information? Who directs data flows and who enables or limits access to information? Living and working in a post-truth reality how can we stay or become informed users and critical makers? Can we (re)build independent environments that shape our future practices? How can the practice of ‘critical making’2 enable citizens to take part in debates around complex matters such as machine learning?
