Panelists from backgrounds in the corporate world, new media and urban theory, hacking and product design, will explore the possible nonPractices which emerge from the connectivity between and beyond their disciplines. The symposium addresses professionals in economy, law, art, computing, politics, architecture, sociology and related disciplines, as well as those who are interested in the current situation and future of contemporary society.
