Can design be so amazing that it makes us feel superheroic? Can it be so poor that it angers and frustrates us? Can design actually be evil? YES says Aral Balkan emphatically in this insightful, inspiring and often hysterically funny talk.

Right after we released the Heartbeat pre-alpha, we literally ran out of money. I remember going to the ATM and seeing £200 to my name. Although we don’t have any debts, we also didn’t have any cashflow. As short term fix, we sold our share of another small family property in Turkey. (Again, my family isn’t rich, these are all the things we have in the world.) That sale brought in a little under £40,000, and this is all we have to live on until we reach sustainability. (We also receive a couple of hundred pounds every month in recurring donations from individual patrons, for which we are hugely grateful, as it pays our hosting bills.)

85 is a very interesting number. It might be the greatest indicator we have yet of the existential threat faced by our species in the Antropocene. In this talk, Aral Balkan will explain how that number is related to ubiquitous surveillance, erosion of human rights, loss of our habitat, and, unless we act, the end of democracy.
