About our theme

Intelligent Design  

Are we the designers? Or is someone designing us? Do our tools do our will? Or will they steal our jobs? Intelligent design means knowing the zeitgeist, honing your craft, and perhaps most importantly - watching your back! Defuse 2023 is a chance to explore  augmentation of authorship,  fascination with flare, and the destiny of design in times like no others...
