The Making — Public Sharing: Creative Hackathon - The New Human (Milan & Online)
The New Human Creative Hackathon unfolds as one shared global experience across multiple cities and time zones.
Join Milan's gathering of The New Human Creative Hackathon — a one-day sprint to imagine and build the future, together.
This is happening in tandem with our events in San Francisco. We gather here in Milano as part of the CODAME ART+TECH Festival 2026, exploring a single question: Who is The New Human in 2036?
Schedule
2pm-6pm (Build): Hack, make, experiment. With today's tools, a few focused hours is all it takes to turn an idea into something real. Build in your medium: code, image, video, sound, writing, performance — there's no single way to create.
6pm-8pm (Reveal): Each team shares what they made. Not a pitch competition — a collective unveiling. Prototypes, films, experiments, unfinished futures. We share, we witness, we celebrate.
8:00pm–9:00pm (Aperitivo & Connections): We slow down, gather, and continue the conversation. Meet the creators. Ask questions. Exchange ideas. Spark new collaborations. Because sometimes the most important part of building the future happens over a drink, between strangers who just became collaborators.
No prior experience required. A creative hackathon at CODAME means expressing an idea in your own medium — code is welcome but never required. What matters is the intentional use of art and technology, and a meaningful connection to The New Human.
Strong teams bring together different creative forces: the maker, the storyteller, the systems thinker, the human-centered explorer. Come with a team, come with an idea, or come ready to find your people.
Ideas born here may grow into full installations presented at Milano Art Week + Design Week 2026, San Francisco, Shanghai, and beyond.
Let's build the future — playfully, together.
