What/who??
-
Art Hack Day is 24h part happening part hackathon. It's for hackers whose medium is art and artists whose medium is tech. (and organized by the same)
How ?
- Friday evening: Socializing, beverages, pre-building. (We'll have a backlog of unbuilt art hacks to explore. Like all good ideas turns out this one has an even better predecessor)
- Friday night: Build, build, build (+ we'll put up tents for sleeping over)
- Saturday wee hours / day: Re-build
- Saturday evening: Opening! (to the public)
(so we're on the lookout for drinks sponsors & we also love scrap materials)
Why ?!?
- NYC startups are ripe for artistic exploitation.
- If you can't get art done in 24h you can't get art done:-P
- You love to flex your net art muscles
- Ideas are free - see what happens when others work off your (art) backlog
- Teams make better art than individuals
- It's an anti-startup weekend.
- There are no prototypes just finished art works
- Art hacks don't need demos
- Art hacks are **** even when the underlying technology no longer is.
¿When/where?
