Dread Hacks workshop

Abstract

This workshop will turn existential dread into mischief with hardware and software tools. Issues will be talked about, often linked to tech advancement that makes us depressed about the future. Prototypes will be created for simple art projects (electronic or not) that comment on these issues. Old hardware will be repurposed into creative tools, prototypes built that make us laugh, and you will hopefully collaborate with people who share your dread to blend technical skills with artistic expression.
