What is the nature of design, and the meaning it holds in human life?
What does it mean to design well -- to design ethically in today’s
world? How can the shaping of technology elevate us as humans? This presentation (with many live demos) takes the audience through a journey through the design of everyday tools, musical instruments, toys, and social experiences, while contemplating the ways in which we shape technology -- and how technology, in turn, shapes our society and ourselves.

A native of Beijing, Ge Wang is an Associate Professor at Stanford
University in Music and Computer Science. He researches artful design of tools, toys, games and social experiences. Ge is the architect of the ChucK music programming language, director of the Stanford Laptop Orchestra, co-founder of Smule and designer of the Ocarina and Magic Piano apps for mobile phones. He is a 2016 Guggenheim Fellow and the author of Artful Design: Technology in Search of the Sublime (2018), a photo comic book about the ethics and aesthetics of shaping technology.
