There is graffiti in the ruins of the feed and the event-info-capital is emigrating.
Currently Facebook has a tight grip on the cultural scene with its events-calendar and with Instagram as a spectacular image feed.
But an opposition is rising. Graffiti and net-art are merging with hacking. Activists are using facebook graffiti, through circulating UTF-8 textbombs that cross the layout of the feed.
The Berlin network Reclaim Club Culture meanwhile is calling for a Facebook Exodus. They want to motivate the club and cultural scene to support free alternatives, by moving their biggest information capital, which are the event announcements.

Hacking and hackers can be hard to visualize. In the popular imagination, the figure alternates between a menacing, hooded figure or some sort of drugged-out and depressed juvenile hero (or perhaps a state-sponsored hacker). To counter such images, a group of us have spearheaded a new digitally-based video project, Hack_Curio that features hacker-related videos, culled from a range of sources, documentary film, newscasts, hacker conference talks, advertising, and popular film. In this talk, the ...

Before media art has emerged, traditional art and dance are already applying algorithms to make sophisticated patterns in their textures or movements. Hieda is researching the use of algorithm through creation of media installations and dialog with artists, dancers, choreographers and musicians. He also presents his current interest in machine learning and art which potentially exclude (or already excluding) some populations due to the dataset and modality.

Kann künstliche Intelligenz Kunst erzeugen? Können Menschen von künstlich intelligenten Systemen erzeugte Kunst verstehen? Ist Kunst ein Weg zu neuen Stufen eines kybernetischen Verstandes? Der Stand der KI-Kunst ist keine Kunst oder keine KI. Aber wir werden mit unserer menschlichen Eitelkeit konfrontiert werden, nicht die Einzigen zu sein, die schöpferisch und auch künstlerische Relevanz in Betrachtern auslösen. Dies liegt mitunter an unseren bisherigen Kunstbegriffen und ...
