Space of Hacking: Sunday October 13th

Hackers. They seem to be everywhere, landing headlines in the news,
founding companies in Silicon Valley and hacker spaces around the
world, and at times, facing years in jail. Despite this presence, they
are everywhere misunderstood. Spaces of hacking, the first of three
events seeking to demystify the hacker, will contextualize the acts of
hacking in light of the spaces and places where it unfolds: the hacker
space, the free software project, the biolab, the media, the law, and
the server. To spatialize hacking is to orient our questions to those
of travel and translation: why and where does hacking descend and take
root? Where are the limits and boundary waters where hacking cannot go?
How do we conceptualize the act of travel and translation: as
accidental errantry, calculated translation, acts of mutation? What
impels movement and change?

Bringing together a diverse set of scholars and practitioners, we will
hold two panels that explore the spaces of hacking followed by a
reception. The first panel will probe physical spaces: the hack lab,
the bio lab and the art-bio lab,  and the second panel takes a more
thematic approach examining how hacking has interfaced with gender,
with the media, and with digital dissent.

Panel One: Hacker Spaces and Labs

- Alessandro Delfanti, Biohacker Contamination (McGill)
- Tagny Duff, Title TBD (Concordia)
- Johan Soderberg, Precursors to Open Hardware in the Czech Republic
(Laboratoire territoire, techonologie et société (LATTS))
- Suparna Choudhury, Hacking the Brain (McGill University)
- Denisa Kera, Mobile Labs for Open Science: Open Source Hardware in
the Global South (National University of Singapore)

Commentator: xSmurf (Foulab)

Panel Two: Unraveling and Raveling

- Gabriella Coleman, Trust and Anonymity in Anonymous (McGill University)
- Anne Goldenburg, Hacking with Care (UQAM)
- Molly Sauter, Disruption (McGill University)
- Lia Lynch, Journalists on/as hackers  (Concordia)

Commentator: David Mizra, Subgraph

Funding for the event provided by the Wolfe Chair in Scientific and
Technological Literacy and Media@McGill.

Whoa, easy on the hype!   By lowering the expectations a bit, you give the hackers a chance to outperform.
