hack a day
!Mediengruppe Bitnik deal with the cultural impacts of media and technology on the society. They develop a new project for [plug.in] that looks into the subject matter of work in times of global division of labour. Outsourcing - common in the economical context - will be tried out in an experimental setting with artistic labour.
A Hack a Day is an ongoing series of workshops with domestic and foreign artists. The artists are invited to produce a social hack in cooperation with participants. Among the first invitees were: Sofatrips.com (CH) C6.org (UK), Platoniq.org (ES).
Besides the day-workshops the format extends also to A Hack a Night - an evening programme with focus on experimental handling of audio/visual and electronic music.
