‘Everything digital is at the same time local and global, big and small, and is both inside and outside of given limits,’ stated the Digital X workshop mentor Nicholas Negroponte. ‘The digital World merges worlds that were previously separated, such as the world of discoveries, that of inventiveness and expression. And it has succeeded in becoming the DNA of all of them. The natural world and the artificial world are becoming interchangeable. The change will take place very quickly. You have to put your seatbelt on.’

With this concept as a backdrop, editors Nikolaus Hirsch and Nick Axel, from e-flux Architecture, joined the second edition of the Digital X Workshop to conduct a series of interviews to its Academic Body.
