'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

Century". He is currently undertaking a PhD at Birkbeck University, London.
