GUEST SPEAKERS
CW + T
CW&T is the art and design practice of Che-Wei Wang & Taylor Levy. We concept, design, and make real the things we want to see in the world. These objects and bits of code are spurred to adapt, augment, and transform our surroundings into something other than what was before. The results are thoughtfully made, carefully considered, and overly engineered to do what they do and do it well—often for multiple generations. They’re made for the individual, to patina with your own wear and tear, and become a part of your life. Everything is made to be the last of its kind you’ll ever need.
