In the depths of the Nieuwe Instituut, down industrial metal stairs and between humming servers, there is a new hub for digital culture called -1. Part laboratory, part exhibition space, -1 responds to the urgent need to address critical issues in digital culture, from the rapid advancement of AI and the reemergence of do-it-yourself technology to the inclusion of more diverse and alternative voices in computing.
