Throughout history, every leap in technology has sparked a counter-movement—a creative rebellion against efficiency, uniformity and control.

In this talk, we’ll explore some of the most compelling reactions to streamlined processes across music, film, art and design. We’ll draw throughlines from William Morris to Yoko Ono to Madvillain, examining why these oppositional forces captivate us and how they can help us navigate the historic moment we’re in. This is a celebration of the lo-fi, the tactile and the “frictionfull” world that keeps creativity alive.”
