On September 5th Angela Plohman from BALTAN Laboratories will participate in the panel “Labs as repair shops?” as part of the Pixelspaces conference at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz.
“If labs want to continue to lodge a claim to design excellence that they have rightfully earned, we’ll have to deal with the world around us. Incessantly progressing global warming, the widening of the so-called digital gap between urban areas and regions with lower-grade infrastructure and between industrialized and developing countries are just a few of the scenarios on which labs are expected to take a stand. The labs of the future will (have to) deploy their entire creative potential in order to utilize technology as a means of bringing about advances in other sectors (like social welfare and education) that have a major impact on culture.”
With Horst Hörtner (AT), Angela Plohman (CA), Masa Inakage (JP), Zachary Lieberman (US) and Gary McDarby (UK).
