This event is open to any English grad student who is interested in learning about critical design -- with or without digital media. No skills in coding or circuit-bending are required. The boot camp will introduce participants to various methodologies (critical making, speculative design, applied media theory), which will be applied to the creation of a smartly critical and anti-pandemically FUN object-to-think-with.

The CML is pleased to co-host an evening with JARON LANIER at the CIGI Auditorium in Waterloo. Lanier is best known for his pioneering work in Virtual Reality, but what makes him unique is his critical thinking about technology and culture.

Lanier is also a musician, and he plans to showcase this talent at the event.
