What will happen in your session?

We'll discuss DING, a magazine about the Internet and things. We founded this magazine because we saw a gap in the practice of slow, considered making and the breakneck speed of technology. We wanted to anthologize the sprawling online conversations and provide a place of re ection for people interested in crafting technology in more responsible ways. It is our place of refuge to discuss internet health and emerging technologies - slowly, sustainably and in print.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

Today we live with digital technology that’s primarily manufactured in Shenzhen and designed in Silicon Valley. Centralization of production means that there is less choice and less inclusion. We need decentralized ecosystems, where craft thrives so that people can deploy the materials around them to make local solutions that last a long time. We hope you enjoy this session and that it sparks ideas for crafting technology in healthier ways.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
