Event Announcement

Hack Århus is an informal meeting place for everyone interested in the creative use of technology in the broadest sense. We're trying to build an open space where people of diverse backgrounds come together to share resources and knowledge to build things, create digital art or hack in general.

The Kick-Off event will introduce the Hack Århus hackerspace as well as the ideas and projects behind it to everyone interested. There will be a couple short talks and a hands-on workshop afterwards.

We will also have visitors from the Labitat hackerspace in Copenhagen as well as from the University of Aarhus.

The event is open to everyone!
Some beverages and snacks will be provided.

What the Hack?

A short trip into the roots of hackerspaces and hacker ethics

Tatiana will speak about the process of creation of a hacker space and give some creative input referring to the experiences of the early time of hacking, bringing some practical examples from Italy, Germany and USA, and exploring some roots of hacker culture and the do it yourself approach.
