Rounding up dConstruct 2012

It’s been two weeks since the mind-blowing awesomeness of dConstruct 2012 and I’ve still got a brain full of the amazing knowledge bombs dropped by each and every speaker.



I’ve been keeping track of other people’s write-ups of the event too:



Hypernaked published a report.



Andrew Johns wrote down his thoughts, going through each talk in turn. He also wrote a follow-up post pointing out that one of the emergent themes of the conference was education.



Sjors Timmer wrote a review that cites Italo Calvino.



Happy Famous Artists pulled out three strands from the event:




Digital is about beauty and about layers.
The power of play.
The interconnectedness of things through chance.


There’s a write-up over at info.nl called Playing with the future at the seams.



But I think my favourite write-up comes from Laura who did a report for Ubelly called Our Positions Of Power. It’s a thoughtful piece that pulls together multiple strands that emerged throughout the day. And you’ve gotta love the opening sentence:




After a weekend of reflection, I’ve decided that dConstruct 2012 had the best talks of any conference I’ve ever attended.




Some people took some great pictures at dConstruct. I like this set on Flickr.

Eva-Lotta drew some fantastic sketchnotes (as usual).

People said some very nice things on Twitter, Paul Swain wrote a very nice “thank you” post, and I even got a lovely postcard from an attendee.
