Hackathon / Art Hack Day

Thursday 26th September – Saturday 28th September 

In contemporary society our digital footprints are more obvious than ever, despite efforts to cover our tracks. Facebook, Google, Yahoo – the omnipresent online powers that be have a mind boggling capacity to store all the vital data we toss around so carelessly, so it’s no wonder that more and more people are trying to abstain from this data exchange altogether, hence this edition of Art Hack Day’s theme being ‚Going Dark‘. Featuring over 50 artists and hackers, the hackathon will consist of perfromances, exhibitions, parties and much more.

LEAP // Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse 13 10178 Berlin

Screening / Video Art at Midnight

Friday 27th September – 12 Midnight

Our favourite monthly video art event is back with ‚Binibining Promised Land‘, a film by Köken Ergun. Focussing on the thousands of Filipino guest workers living in the state of Israel, ‚Binibining‘ refers to the beauty contest ‚ Binibining Pilipinas Israel‘, held in Tel Aviv by the Filipino community. The event will be opened with a personal introduction by Ergun which will include reference to the incidents at Gezi Park which he was involved in this summer.
