As part of the frequent collaborations of D-Future researchers some of us were involved in the organization of Interface Politics 1st International Conference.

The Conference was about reflecting on the role and influence of interfaces within the universe of tools from the contemporary production system. How were the imaginaries related to creativity, politics, labor, economics and culture configured and created in the context of a universalized system of interfaces that is based on the promise of being natural, transparent, simple and accessible? What answers and actions could be articulated from design practices that aim to question the utopias arising from a form of communication that is increasingly subject to a culture of control? How could alliances be established between design, the field of critical thinking and action, and industrial and institutional narratives linked to technological theologies?
