This year the Chaos Communication Conference hosted a stream on ‘art & beauty’ where !Mediengruppe Bitink presented Hacking as Artistic Practice (see video) and Robert Ochshorn presented Against Metadata (see video).

We briefly had a chance to brainstorm how to work with Interlace for the Media Mesh workshop at the Taking Care of Things event in January. Julian Assange spoke over a video link on Sysadmins of the world, unite! (see video).

Other highlights of the art stream were:
Hello World!
The philosophy of hacking
The Pirate Cinema
Turing Complete UserAnonymity and Privacy in Public Space and on the Internet
Forbidden Fruit
Seidenstrasse
Do You Think That’s Funny?

We met old friends on the stubnitz and at the noisy square party.
