In this first series of Aperitivo, as part of the CODAME ART+TECH Festival (2026) leaning toward the Creative Hackathon in 2026, we’ll reimagine together what it means to be human in the age of collective intelligence.
Seats are limited to 60 participants. Online access is open to all.Join CODAME for an evening that blurs boundaries between art, code, and consciousness. We invite you to imagine how collective intelligence might flow through the spaces between us and materialize in real time.

Speakers
The network of creative coders, designers, and artists that co-founders Bruno Fonzi and Jordan Gray cultivated from around the world sparked CODAME’s mission to passionately celebrate the fusion of art and technology. Since the inaugural CODAME ART+TECH Festival in 2010, held on a foggy rooftop in downtown San Francisco, their vision has inspired a brand of immersive, engaging, and out-of-the-ordinary experiences that continue to connect and empower creative communities globally.
We’ll also preview The New Human Creative Hackathon 2026, a two-day co-creation lab where artists, designers, and technologists prototype futures at the intersection of emotion, data, and imagination. Here, Christopher Schutte will share how transformation isn’t just discussed, it’s felt: each gesture, voice, or signal shaping a shared digital ecosystem, a living map of empathy and invention.
Creative technologist and hacker-at-large Yosun Chang connects San Francisco to Milan through a live exploration of presence, perception, and co-creation.
Using her platform Napkinmatic AI3D, she may attempt a remote-to-local fabrication demo, transforming sketches into tangible artifacts printed at DesignTech’s fablab, a glimpse into how imagination becomes matter.
