Dots and Pixels: A Counterbalance to Digital Everything

Since 2012 the Risograph has been an essential tool within my creative practice in the Analog Research Lab at Facebook—one that encourages a spirit of experimentation and play as a means to celebrate, question, and understand the world. This talk will look at the place of the Risograph as a critical counterbalance to the digital nature of the organization, and also as a means to transform our built environments and the communities that occupy them.
