Hacker Cultures Session 1: Objects of Hacking
Thu, August 20, 3:00 to 4:40pm CEST (3:00 to 4:40pm CEST), virPrague, VR 09Abstract
The spiralling changes around how we experience our social and physical world have stemmed from the massive amount of digital technologies that are ubiquitously used in all parts of our society today. These infrastructures are constructed by a wide range of “hackers” – a slippery term generally applied to anybody building or maintaining software or hardware. They (or we?) go by a wide range of labels such as programmers, developers (or “devs”), designers, analysts, data scientists, coders, sysadmins, dev/ops, or sometimes simply tech. This session will more widely focus on the tools, tricks and objects that hackers use, work with and engage in. We will discuss how they use these tools to create, build, break, fix, and secure our digital worlds.
