This module examines the actors, logics, and affects of hacking as a spatial practice in urban, digital and cultural space. Hackers refuse to take space(s) for granted; they probe at their material, social, and technical logics in order to exploit weaknesses and to turn their initial functions on their head. Taking ‘hacking’ as an artistic and political practice, this module introduces divergent theories and concepts central to hacking (incl. ‘glitch’, ‘exploit’, ‘détournement’, ‘opacity’, ‘freedom of information’) and examines what these tell us about relations of power and resistance in the production of space. For their assignments, students are introduced to, and put to use, photo essays and video essays.
