Social / artistic hacking workshop
Do 13 Nov - Vr 14 Nov / doors open @ 12:00u / start @ 12:00 / free
!Mediengruppe Bitnik is a Zurich-based media collective that became notorious, amongst others, by bugging the Zurich opera with radio transmitters and offering free live telephone broadcasts of the opera
performances to the neighborhood, aesthetic hacking of movie files, and a pirate TV station based on media illegally downloaded from the Internet. The group does not understand hacking as a cult of technology geeks, but as a social intervention and practice everyone can adopt. To this end, they have been touring with their workshop series ,,A Hack a Day``, inviting and working with local and international artists. The
goal of the workshop is to produce a social hack with all participants. The results of the workshop will be presented friday night as the opening of the ZIZEK clubnight.
!Mediengruppe Bitnik are Carmen Weisskopf, Domagoj Smoljo, Silvan Leuthold, Sven König (since 2007) and Daniel Ryser (since 2007), Adnan Hadzi (since 2008) and Sameer Sait (since 2008).
The workshop will be given by Carmen Weisskopf and Domagoj Smoljo and is open to everybody who wants to take part. Participating is FREE of charge. Places are limited, if you want to participate send an email to katelyn@wormweb.nl
A Hack A Day #10
After a short introduction to Sousveillance and CCTV film making, we will set out on a walk through the city of Rotterdam. Equipped with CCTV video signal receivers we will let the incoming surveillance camera signals lead us through the city. The CCTV video signal receivers will catch surveillance camera signals in public and private spaces and make them visible: surveillance becomes sousveillance. By making images visible which normally remain hidden, we gain access to the "surveillance from above" enabling us to use these images for a personal narrative of the city.
Workshop with construction manual for later DIY!
Attendance free
