New Design Congress

PROJECT

A research group developing a nuanced understanding of technology's role as a social, political and environmental accelerant.

About




All infrastructure is an expression of power.
Interfaces and technologies are social, political and ecological
accelerants.
Solutionism at scale prevents true change.

The New Design Congress is an independent research group founded by Cade Diehm. Since January 2020, we've worked with a diverse range of voices to build new perspectives on systems, security and interfaces and how to respond to they way digital infrastructure affects the world. Through research partnerships, livestreams, and publications, we use our three core arguments to understand the cascading relationships of societies and their technologies.
