Curator’s Note:

Hacking Art & Culture with F.A.T. Lab


As we become more and more engaged with the internet in every aspect of our lives, powerful questions have arisen regarding the ownership of digital media and information, the relationship between corporations, governments, and individuals online, the power of pop culture influence, and the dissolving border between the digital and physical worlds. Taking these issues head-on is The Free Art & Technology (F.A.T.) Lab. An international group of 21 artists, hackers, thinkers, designers, developers, and entrepreneurs, F.A.T. Lab employs art, activism, pop culture, and a a deep understanding of the internet to create projects that challenge people and institutions to think a little deeper about the digital world.

 

Featuring: Evan RothGreg LeuchAram Bartholl, and the 21 members of F.A.T. Lab
