In more and more of our activities, software helps us with advice or guidance. But is it acceptable that our lives are increasingly shaped by algorithms that we have no insight into? It's time to fundamental redesign of the role technology plays in our life. Programming ourselves can be a start.
In many areas of our life it's software that leads the way. What we encounter on the internet, who and what comes our way, it's all defined by algorithms. And because the digital world is becoming more and more intertwined with our physical reality thanks

About Sander Veenhof

With a university degree in computer science and my education at the Gerrit Rietveld art academy, my expertise is twofold. I have the skills to realise anything I imagine, and I like to use my imagination to work on non-existent solutions for non-existent problems. I'm fascinated by our future as semi-digital beings, living in a programmable world with infiniute opportunities.
