PANEL
“ART AND TECHNOLOGY; FUTURE SCENARIOS; CURRENT INTERFACE POLITICS”
The information society ushered by the Internet has changed its aroma from a space of freedom to a
space of surveillance and fear. The nostalgic talk is a first-person account of the nineties’
net.art scene with examples of artworks from the “community of practice” that existed in
Europe at the time. The self-aggrandizing talk, on the other hand, explains the ethical survival
tactics for avant-garde artists in the digital sphere. Big words.

Miami hosts one of the largest Internet exchange points in the world – Terremark Worldwide, Inc. a
subsidiary of Verizon Communications. Terremark Worldwide serves as a data crossroad for 90% of online
traffic between South America, North America and Europe.
Without careful design and oversight, big data and technology can reinforce the existence of inequalities
and harm communities. To understand the impact and reach of these silent agents in our everyday
communication, we need to identify the biases that inform their function and ensure that they are both fair
and effective.
In this context, we set up guerrilla hotspots around Miami to collect user data for 3 months– an
ongoing action performed by ISPs and other parties. The information will be given to workshop participants
for exploration and creation.
With this action we aim to raise awareness on the harmful use of metadata and data retention laws.
A WEEKEND OF CO-CREATION, INTENSIVE TALKS AND EXCHANGE OF IDEAS ON DIGITAL CULTURE AND ETHICS.
PROGRAM
ART+HACK+DATA is a social artistry event taking place in Miami Florida in 2021. New media creators and
tech-enthusiasts will come together to discuss issues on the digital environment and work with
participants to find their own means of creative expression.
Our goal is to solidify the scene of creative makers and together, set the values and new standards to
prevent oppression, censorship, or surveillance for future generations.
After a Media Art Weekend, an exhibition of the work created will be left on view. Stay tuned for more
details on specific dates and venues.
