Hacking Innovation Bias

This exhibition table presents an interactive selection of open hardware artefacts developed by students in the interdisciplinary block seminar Hacking Innovation Bias. The focus is on hands-on exploration, short demonstrations, and critical exchange. Working with modular digital hardware from the Hacking Box, students created experimental, interactive objects that investigate how bias becomes embedded in research and development processes. Rather than discussing bias abstractly, the artefacts translate issues such as data selection, interfaces, standards, and assumptions into tangible, testable setups. The table functions as a shared workspace. Visitors are invited to touch, test, and explore the artefacts, accompanied by short demos and self-published zines. What is presented are not finished products, but prototypes and working questions – open to interpretation, discussion, and further hacking.
