Invitation to participate in The New Human Creative Hackathon: “A playground for artists, technologists, and designers to prototype human–machine futures during Milan Design Week 2026.”
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.
Vanessa Chang is a writer, scholar, curator, and educator who builds communities and conversations about our virtual and physical encounters with media and technology.
Vanessa Chang builds communities and conversations about art, technology, people, and planet. She writes, curates, and teaches about new and old media, the history and philosophy of technology, design, disability and creative access, cities, comics, animation, circuses, and more.
