Tom Hulme on technology as a design tool
A Better Future Through Design/Recorded 2014
A close reading, kept within reach.
Tom Hulme takes design activism as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in United Kingdom in 2014, the conversation is grounded in Tom's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
The founder of OpenIDEO tells us why we have to stop being afraid of technology.
