Telematic Hacking: Meeting & Exposition
Project duration: November 2017 - March 2018
Within the framework of the Interfaces project, Onassis Stegi and De Montfort University (UK) will contribute to the telematics arts initiative focusing on hacking, as a particularly appropriate means of telematic performance.

Many sounds from hacked instruments have unique characteristics and behaviours and do not operate in the same manner as traditional instruments. If we consider the Internet router as a musical instrument, this opens up the possibility of new repertoire and audiences.
Hacking and subsequently performing with a networked device would suggest broader access issues relating to music making. In the case of a router, it could be looking at the manipulation of the way in which data packages are sent and received with an interest for the sonification of this data or router behavior. Such issues as latency in networked performance are not to be seen as a detriment, but instead as part of the material nature of the Net that offers unique possibilities for making music together.
This initiative aims to create a new, technology-driven form of community-based music making crossing age groups, levels of ability and cultural background and most importantly bringing together people from all around Europe. Onassis Stegi & DMU will work with hackers, cyber security experts and artists facilitating international collaborative works and coordinate a number of telematics events and expositions which can be first seen as a live stream on the Interfaces YouTube channel.
11:00-17:00 (GMT)

Participating artist will discuss and workshop ideas for Telematic Hacking. Each artist is open to interpret the brief in their own way, develop ideas discussed in the meetings, or work collaboratively. The public will be able to drop in on the development of the project on Periscope.
