!Mediengruppe Bitnik is a Zurich-based media collective that became
notorious, amongst others, by bugging the Zurich opera with radio
transmitters and offering free live telephone broadcasts of the opera
performances to the neighborhood, aesthetic hacking of movie
files, and a pirate TV station based on media illegally downloaded from
the Internet. The group does not understand hacking as a cult of
technology geeks, but as a social intervention and practice everyone
can adopt. To this end, they have been touring with their workshop
series ,,A Hack a Day``, inviting and working with local and
international artists.
On friday, during the day, they will be at WORM to take you on a
city walk where they'll do some serious security camera hacking. You
are free and very welcome to join. If you do, you can send an email to
katelyn@wormweb.nl. (This is not obligatory to join, you can also join
Bitnik spontaneously, but it's handy for us to know) The exact
gathering time will be on the website on tuesday.
!Mediengruppe Bitnik are Carmen Weisskopf, Domagoj Smoljo, Silvan
Leuthold, Sven König (since 2007) and Daniel Ryser (since 2007), Adnan
Hadzi (since 2008) and Sameer Sait (since 2008). The city walk will be
leaded by Carmen and Domagoj.
