Cut&Paste

Cut&Paste was born in NYC back in November 2005. At the time 850 people packed out a bar to follow emerging designers as they battled head-to-head in the world’s first, live digital design tournament. Since then, design-enthusiasts around the globe have joined the Cut&Paste movement - a new way to celebrate design that fuses the energy of a nightclub, the fun of a gig and the adrenaline of a spectator-sport. Cut&Paste first arrived in London in 2007 as part of its first global tour. It’s coming back in 2009 for its biggest events series yet, but you can get a sneak peek as the Cut&Paste team arrives for one day only at D3. Cut&Paste is produced in Europe by Germination
