EMF Camp 2024

Back to EMF Camp for the biennial festival for hackers, makers, and technology enthusiasts. It features talks, workshops, and creative projects in a field equipped with high-speed internet and a temporary phone network.

I spent much of my time going to talks (which were fantastic), but those don’t make for good photos.
