temporary public art commissions for the city of Plymouth, UK
21-24 March 2007

Social Hacking is a series of temporary public art commissions for Plymouth
by international artists' groups against a backdrop of urban regeneration.
The project reflects the ways in which these changes to the city can be
further influenced by creative human intervention.
 
Featuring commissioned work from The Institute for Applied Autonomy (USA),
Mikro Orchestra Project (Poland), and Ludic Society (Austria/Switzerland).

The event also includes the pre-launch of c6's (UK) new Dot Master project
'Mobility in the art market', a Mikroparty including performances by Tetine
(Brazil) and Mikrokilla & Jura (Poland), project newsroom, artists' run
workshops, Open Day by The Pirate University, and a public seminar with Saul
Albert (UK) and McKenzie Wark (AUS/USA).
