INSIDE OUT (I/O) a Youth Initiative

NEXMAP & The San Francisco Art Institute Co-Present:
Usernomics 1.0:
Video Hactivist Workshop

by Stephanie Rothenberg with Youth Participants
from the SFAI City Studio Program. Culminating Exhibition at Zero1 (San Jose CA, USA): June 6, 2008

Usernomics is a hacktivist workshop employing models of waste reclamation, recycling and reuse. Participants will engage in hacking (taking apart and repurposing) discarded keyboards and toys and reprogram them to make one-of-a-kind external computer controllers. Participants will also be guided through the process of video hacking, and will make their own graphical icons/avatars to replace those in existing video games.

On June 6th, 2008, documentation of Usernomics and live performances will be presented as part of the arts education programming of Zero1: A global festival of art on the edge.
