Zooming Out: Sustainability, Accessibility, Social Impact
When we look at things with a laser focus, we tend to miss what's on the peri-phery. Zooming out encourages designers and artists to consider who and what is overlooked. Participants will push to create experiences, new systems, solutions, products, or installations for a more inclusive and responsible future.
