Conversations with Computers
10. bis 19. November 2021, Mo bis Fr von 10.00 bis 18.30 Uhr Online und Kunstuniversität Linz, Domgasse 1, Galerie WHA
Die Abteilung Zeitbasierte Medien und servus.at laden zum Symposium und zur Ausstellung.
Conversations with Computers is a 2-day Symposium organized by the net culture initiative servus.at in cooperation with the Department of Time-based Media of the University of Art and Design Linz.
The symposium addresses contemporary artistic research in the field of AI, focusing on new languages that emerge between humans and machines, but also how work and communication are facilitated through technological means.
The discursive event is accompanied two workshops and exhibition of artistic works produced during the Silicon Friends Camp, a 5-days retreat with 15 artists in the austrian alps that took place last summer.

Hardware Hacking Workshop with Chipp Jansen
ExPostMusik 4.OG
The world is becoming littered with old mobile phone discarded as “upgrade” culture entices us to the shiny latest thing and obsolete Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets which turn into useless plastic bricks when their dependent cloud services go dark as the start-up fails and goes bankrupt. In addition, while manufacturers are increasingly locking and securing the devices we have “purchased”, the right to repair movements aim to re-use these electronics in new and surprising ways. The first step towards this culture of circular use is to be able to re-purpose a device for general purpose computation. In this “hardware hacking” workshop, we will look at a typical IoT internet security camera and discover how to talk to it and re-program it for our own customised uses. The spirit of this workshop is to also to generate ideas for an eventual system for combining discarded electronics into a re-usable general purpose computational system. No previous hardware or software “hacking” experience is necessary for this step-by-step workshop, and all the necessary supplies will be provided.
Chipp Jansen is a PhD candidate in Robotics at King's College London researching human-robotic interaction in in visual arts. In the past, he has worked as a creative computing consultant and interdisciplinary artist in the areas of data visualisation, information aesthetics, interactive installation, and computational architecture. Previous projects include exhibiting a light-enhanced sculpture (Tampa Public Mood Ring), a cartographic Rorschach generator for Turbulence.org’s Net Art Commission (Invisible Influenced), and experimental fabrication research involving carbon fibre architectural composites. In addition, he has taught students of computer science, fine arts and architecture in the US and in the UK, most recently at Brunel University and King's College London.
