NERDIFIED? summary
After nine weeks on 21st of April 2014 the exhibition NERDIFIED? ended. The topic computer, culture and society attracted several hundreds of visitors. The exhibition was designed as a chronological tour with unique pieces from the early days of hobby-oriented and academic nerd culture to commercial milestones that show how nerds shape our everyday culture. A short video by the Electrical Reporter about nerds provided a first introduction to the subject. At the nerd-workspace Basic and Assembler programs could be written and a humorous nerd-test checked the nerd knowledge of visitors. A series of interviews rounded off the exhibition.
