What would the Internet look like without hackers ? What would computing look like without free and open source software ? What would the culture look like with DRM and closed media channels everywhere ? Where do art and technology merge ?

Many questions will be debated during the first Hacker Space Fest from the 16th to the 22nd June 2008 near Paris, in the industrial outskirts of Vitry-sur-Seine (/tmp/lab).

I'm really happy to be in this festival about hacking. I'll participate in different ways :

• the google Earth & Flickr based project The Road Between Us
• a conference about viral art & social bending
• a performance with Gregorth for k.ROCKSHIRE
• and an other performance with I++ Records.

'hope you'll be there :) > location <
