HACKDAY : WORKSHOPS + ROUND TABLE
Hardware Stories | A project initiated by Anne Goldenberg

• Sunday, April 28th, 10am-5:30pm
• At Studio XX
• Free | Registration is required
• Bilingual event

Hardware Stories is a feminist and decolonial Hackday that questions the current life cycle of our electronic devices. As an invitation to reclaim our autonomy towards the extractivist, colonial and consumerist logics of our contemporary societies, this event recontextualizes the relationship to technologies in an ethics of care.

Through two workshops and a round table, artists and activists will demystify the production methods of our technological tools and will equip us to repair, divert or recover these everyday objects. Everyone will be able to learn, exchange and acquire technical skills in a D.I.Y spirit.

BREAKFAST-CONFERENCE
Take a Stand. Ecology, technology and artistic practice in media arts

• An event presented by the CQAM
• Thursday, May 2nd, 9:30am-11:30am
• At Studio XX
• Free for Studio XX members | 5$ for CQAM members | $10 non-members
• The discussion will be held in French.
 

What would an “ecological” artistic practice in the field of media arts mean?  With its works linked to constantly changing technologies, made up of components with a limited lifespan and often driven by energy-consuming demands, it seems that media arts practices can never be "ecological".

Studio XX's general coordinator, Julie Alary Lavallée, will join a discussion with art historian Bénédicte Ramade (Université de Montréal/UQAM), artist Stephen Beaupré and artist and professor Alice Jarry (Concordia University).

Coffee and croissants will be served.
