Description

Why are we so attracted to the visual? How are artists, businesses, hackers, and others evolving the way we relate to, react with, and use information and data online? What drives these innovators? How do their inventions -- from works of art to pieces of code -- relate to each other, and how will they drive innovation in the political space?

Speakers
