Just enough to be dangerous!
In the closing keynote of the day, veteran digital troublemaker Dan Hett will be taking you on a high-speed tour of some the noisy, colourful, provocative, and downright outrageous nonsense he's done with creative technology over the last couple of decades. More importantly: he'll be explaining (probably a bit tooooo animatedly) exactly how he does a whole lot with just a little know-how of a lot of different things, why creative bravery is a million times more important than being an expert, and why lighting your work on fire or giving it away is way cooler than keeping it a secret. Sometimes, you just need to know enough to be dangerous.
