HARDcoded :: Digital Punk Magicians

HARDcoded is an ongoing collaboration between newMedia artists in
Chicago + Mexico City, that explore the cross-over between digital
noise, punk, + magic. HARDcoded is a wordplay between embedded/non-
mailable data sets in software development, like End User License
Agreements (or EULA) or closed-source proprietary computer
applications, + the xXxHARDCORExXx ethic of Punk culture. Our
(artists + organizers alike) approach to reconstruct/disrupt the
controlled environment of digital technology by breaking these social
devices with wizardry. Here, wizardry is informed by Tolkien
references in early moments of information technology + digital
networking, as well as playfully applying narratives of spell
casting, enchantment, + fantasy to the otherwise dull architecture of
cyberspace. This wizardy of course would be nothing without "magic."
This "magic," which serves as ironic term with a critical bent, can
break the spell of traditional methods of cultural communication +
sharing in an ever-growing oppressive state.
HARDcoded seeks to create a space where ruptures in our digital
playing field (glitch, noise, + hacked/repurposed material/tools) can
take precedence over the norms of our contemporary static digital
landscape. The collaboration borrows from a Punk ethics/ethos + the
necessity for a sustainable break away from the normative practices
of commercial platforms. By invoking these ideologies/methodologies
HARDcoded hopes to provide/facilitate a DIY/DIT network of
subversion. In attempting to approach this task, HARDcoded wishes to
provide a social platform of workshops, talks, + performances (and
hybrids of these three) to enable these fissures to break through the
veil of our closed-source expectations + reliance.
