Art Hack Day is a non-profit arts organization that makes pop-up art hackathons around the world.[1][2] It is "part happening, part hackathon" with emphasis on using open source technologies.[3][4] The goal of Art Hack Day is to bring together hackers whose medium is art and artists whose medium is technology.[5][6]
The Art Hack Day concept came from Eyebeam's Art Hack Weekend and Rhizome's Seveon on Seven, but the founding the project took place in January 2012 at the first official Art Hack Day in Brooklyn at 319 Scholes by Paul Christophe, David Huerta, and Olof Mathé.[7][8]
Since 2012, it has evolved into a multi-city, multi-organizer global project.[9]
Project model[edit]
Art Hack Day is created usually by the previous organizers who usually are contacted by people interested in creating Art Hack Day's in their space in a different city globally. Once organizers come together to create an Art Hack Day in a city, a theme is selected, along with the specific time when the event will happen. Then, a plan is made for promoting the event along with an invitation for artists to propose projects. Artists are selected for the Art Hack Day by the organizers. Once selected, then the event usually starts with artists arriving to the location on a Thursday for a brief meeting in the event. Then after the organizational meeting, the Art Hacking commences and artists have 48 hours to make work. The art show is then usually opened to the public on a Saturday evening.[1][9][2]
