ABSTRACT

Democratising Technology (DemTech) was a research project that explored creative aspects of discussing digital technology with the groups being marginalised by it. In particular, the project sought to equip those most excluded from technological change with new ways to apprehend, address and evaluate the possible social and political worlds it creates. In setting up the project, there were two main goals:

• to discover a method of inclusion that could be employed as a ‘portable workshop’, supported by an explanatory DVD; • to provide a showcase for inclusive thinking through the creation of artworks and an exhibition.
