Every tool is created for a specific kind of work. But what if the tool is the work itself? BARTALK and The Grey Space in The Middle are partnering up to address this question as part of Constant Dullaart’s residency at The Grey Space.

In this edition of BARTALK, four tool makers, hackers, and users are invited to share their views on the questions like: What intentions and belief systems are built into a tool, and how does it shape the world around it? What are the political and design considerations in inventing a new tool? And how does one broaden the accessibility of a tool? 

If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail

Abraham Maslow, 1966
