DDD Testimonials
"I am emailing to thank you for organising the Digital Diversity conference at the ICA this summer.
The whole diversity agenda is completely underrepresented in digital theory debate and I hope that you will be organising a follow-up next year.
In particular, I do feel concerned that girls are not being inspired to take up technical careers working with digital media and would be keen to support
any digital diversity initiatives.
From a personal point of view, I made some new contacts at the conference that have been of great benefit to my current research."
"The 'Developing Digital Diversity' conference sliced through the whole digital art, design, animation scene like a razor, and revealed exactly where we are, digitally, right now. I don't believe I could have spent 8 hours more fruitfully."
