The exhibition project HACK.Fem.EAST seeks to present experimental and artistic practices of artists and activists working in digital networks in Eastern Europe. Main topics are media, art and hacking. Main protagonists are women or projects in which women play an important role.

This year make art focuses on the OpenOS: artistic, free, creative use of the Operating System, hackability and modularity of FLOSS and GNU/Linux, scripts as digital glue between applications, enhanced possibilities for the technical expression of ideas, user empowerment and artistic freedom.

As part of the ‘Better than Reality’ project V2_Lab will host an artist in residence focusing on 3D and various other visual aspects within the topic of Augmented Reality environments. This residency will take place in the summer of 2008.

This dynamic website explores the aesthetic and historical conditions of digital media’s exciting multifaceted dialog. Profuse and imaginative illustrations, wikis, chronologies, and multimedia examples are an engaging aid to designers, artists and humanists.
