Wise Management Services graphic designer Keeli McCarthy won our prize ticket giveaway to the inaugural IncrediblEdge summit. Held in Auckland last month, the summit brought together thought leaders and change makers from diverse range of fields.
McCarthy says that as an artist and designer, the most interesting aspect of IncrediblEdge was seeing people who are balancing both established and emergent technologies in their work.
“A common thread throughout many of the presentations was how we can embrace the physical, hand-done approaches while still flourishing in digital world,” she says.
“It was interesting speaking one-on-one with fellow attendees and discussing how people in many different disciplines – artists, researchers and social activists – are negotiating their own personal transitions into increasingly digital mediums.”
