Berkeley Degrowth Institute

Berkeley Degrowth Institute is an experimental project to explore new forms of computing, and operates from under a plum tree in Berkeley, California. BDI is a project to dream up a future computer interface and aesthetic. Take a step into our dream, where smartphones are nowhere to be seen, and interfaces are tucked away in books, trinkets, and pleasant little cozy things.
