Computing and Stories Summit

School for Poetic Computationis an artist run school in New York that was founded in 2013. A small group of students and faculty work closely to explore the intersections of code, design, hardware and theory — focusing especially on artistic intervention. It’s a hybrid of a school, residency and research group.Our motto is:more poetry, less demo

School for Poetic Computation

Computing & Stories is a collective of artists and engineers who love to write and draw about computers. We are passionate about making computing more accessible and inclusive through comics, zines, children's books, kits and workshops. In the first Computing and Stories Summit at the School for Poetic Computation, we’d like to invite the wider community to share our work and explore following questions together.

How can we illustrate technically complex concepts through playful and inviting visuals? How can we tell important questions concerning ethics and responsibility in technology through engaging narratives? How can we find a more diverse audience? How can we use storytelling as a vehicle to bring change to the unequal systems around technology? How can we contribute to a culture of engineering and science that’s respectful and inviting to women, people of color, disabled person, and the LGBTQ community? How can we create stories that reveal these complex questions through engaging narrative?
