What’s a utopian gadget? Is it simply a gadget that doesn’t break? Is it easily repairable or modular? While the media gets excited about 'planned obsolescence', The Restart Project thinks the ultimate gadget is one that doesn’t need to be manufactured or bought: it’s the one you already have and that still has plenty to offer. What’s more utopian than discovering we might not need a new product?
Restart are taking over the Utopia Treasury for a weekend of activites, where you’ll be able to share your priorities for utopian gadgets, whilst learning more about how you can fix your relationship with electronics.
The Restart Project will showcase its utopian listening station, featuring a selection of its podcasts on redefining our relationship with electronics.
Restart will have tips, books, videos and podcasts to inspire a different approach to the way we consume our electronics.
Restart Weekend is part of UTOPIA 2016: A Year of Imagination and Possibility
