Mike can be an asshole on the internet, but he’s also a thoughtful writer and speaker, and I’m interested to hear what he has to say about design and its role in resistance.

“All design is political, because all politics are designed. The world is a mess because a certain set of people designed it to be a mess. Now we need a different set of people to design our way out of it. This is not a choice. Regardless of whether this is what we wanted or not fascism is knocking on our front door. This is how we knock back.

Did they move this to a new venue yet? I heard the demand was beyond the space at Wacom.

Yeah, it’s way beyond capacity. It may end up moving at the last minute—if it does, I’ll update the event.
