[Nettime-bold] FREE WARE: BORDERHACK! |
NOVEMBER 21 FREE WARE: BORDERHACK!, 7 PM, LECTURE ROOM Fran Ilich is the director of Borderhack!, an annual three-day event that takes place in Tijuana, Mexico. New media artists, activists, and punk rockers alike gather to explore the impact that the U.S.-Mexico border has on daily life. As technology and global economic forces continue to blur the boundaries between cultures, the existence of a physical dividing line between the two countries is called into question. For this talk, Ilich discusses Borderhack! and his current work, Modem Drama. (UN)SCENE: MAKE ART EVERY THIRD THURSDAY:VIVA LA WEB!
