HARDcoded :: Digital Punk Magicians
SAT Dec 08 2007
3 PM - 11 PM (// estimate)
@ EN3MY
1550 N. Milwaukee Ave 3rd Fl. Chicago, IL 60622
HARDcoded (// or HARDCODED) is an ongoing collaboration between newMedia artists in Chicago and Mexico City, that explore the cross-over between digital noise, punk, and magic. HARDcoded is a wordplay between embedded/immutable data sets in software development and the xXxHARDCORExXx ethic of Punk culture. Our approach to reconstruct/disrupt the controlled environment of proprietary software tools and commercial applications of/for digital technology will be enabled by breaking these devices with wizardry. HARDcoded seeks to create a space where ruptures in our digital playing field (glitch, noise, or otherwise hacked material) can take precedence over the norms of our contemporary static digital landscape. The collaboration borrows from a Punk ethics/ethos that can inform the necessity for a sustainable break away from the normative practices of commercial platforms by providing/facilitating a DIY/DIT network. To attempt to create such a network to digital approaches, HARDcoded employs tools of "magic" origin. This "magic," which serves as ironic term with a critical bent, can break the spell of traditional methods of cultural communication and sharing. In attempting to approach this task, HARDcoded wishes to provide a social platform of workshops, talks, and performances to enable these fissures to break through the veil of our "closed-source" expectations and reliance.
The Program consists of workshops/talks by ::
Alex Ignlizian + Mark Beasley (Hardware Hacking/Building)
Jake Elliott (Reprogramming Computer Literacy)
Free Geek Chicago (Free Software and Hacktivism)
Temporary Services (Hacktivism)

And Nightly Performances/screening by ::
