The DFI Gallery was established in June of 2022 with the mission of promoting public scholarship by blending research, media, and art. We invite visitors to explore new ways to connect, imagine, and engage in the immersive experiences designed in this space.
DEAD TECH

DFI is glad to invite you to experience dEaD TECH, an interactive exhibit that takes a closer look at the promises of education technology.
EdTech has long promised faster, freer, more connected, more measured—and much, much more. At dEaD TECH, you’ll explore those promises, see how they’ve shaped learning, and imagine what comes next.
