Hi everyone, I'm starting to think about an elective for postgraduates of studio art and art theory next semester that looks at network art, and hacktivism after 2015. I think this ties in somewhat with the 'after networks' theme of last year's Transmediale and also to this year's theme of

What characterises media art interventions in the context of ‘surveillance capitalism’, platforms and the gig economy? Are these practices still meaningful or, as F.A.T. Lab claimed in 2015, have they lost political significance in the face of global platforms? Can we still speak about
