WHAT IS DESIGN ETHICS?

TALK SESSION
WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11
4 pm - 5 pm (CET)

Try look for a definition of design ethics and you’ll quickly become overwhelmed. Design ethics comes in many forms, as a multitude of toolboxes and in plentiful of ”design-gone-way-wrong” examples.

In the user experience era, designers have seen themselves at the center of developments. Everything has always been designed, but with the internet age, our lives have become deeply intertwined with super designed, opaque algorithmic services – the ones we choose and the ones we don’t.

Where does the responsibility of a designer start, and where does it end?

In this session we’ll get to listen to designers and researchers who dedicate their time to develop ethical design practices and infrastructures to find the glitches, to create frameworks and to expose oppressive systems.

SPEAKERS:
Caroline Sinders, Critical designer and artist

Cade Diehm, Founder, The New Design Congress
