| <nettime-ann> Fwd: [London] 'Hacking the Borders' workshop @Goldsmiths |
. Sorry for any cross overs... 'Hacking the Borders' workshop @Goldsmiths The 'Hacking the Borders' workshop will be Tuesday 14th 14.30 – 16.30 in RHB 221. / 2.30pm-4.30pm / Hacking the Borders: We'll discuss different ways that digital technology can support freedom of movement and the struggles against detention & deportation. By exploring the untapped potential of tech and sharing inspiring examples, we aim to generate innovative ideas that can be prototyped after the Convergence. The workshop is inspired by hacking, which is 'creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations' and 'the reassembling of technology for unintended purposes'. This is not a workshop aimed at programmers but at anyone interested in the issues being tackled at the Convergence, and who has a feeling that social media & technology can help break through some barriers. [RHB 221] Marc Garrett of internet arts collective http://www.furtherfield.org will kick the session off with a few examples of 'Border Hacktivist Art'. Where technologically aware artists are exploring not only beyond traditional, established art contexts and their frameworks. But, also creating new and imaginative engagements in hacking transcending methods in activism. Marc Garrett is an activist, artist, writer and co-director/founder (with artist Ruth Catlow) of internet arts collective http://www.furtherfield.org (since 96) and the Furtherfield Gallery & social space in London. Through these platforms various contemporary media arts exhibitions and projects are presented nationally and internationally. Marc also hosts a weekly media arts radio programme on Resonance FM, co-edited the publication "Artists Re: thinking games" and is editing a new publication "Conversations As We Leave The 21st Century". He is currently undertaking a PhD at Birkbeck University, London. all welcome...
