Hacking Alienation

Hacking Alienation

This dossier is part of a conference co-organised with Disruption Network Lab on migrant power, art & tech. It explores how art and technology can enhance the political agency of those who lack citizenship rights and experience systemic alienation due to war, political conflict or other sources of oppression Migrant groups and individuals are at the forefront of facing racism, oppression, and discrimination. We can only overcome these injustices by adopting innovative strategies of systematic change that, rather than policing and maintaining borders of exclusion, subvert them and create pathways of solidarity and accountability.  How can technology and media be used to imagine future strategies that urge community building rather than enforcing a state of integration? The artistic approach will play a central role, contributing to the introduction and generation of new tools of awareness and experimentation, as well as providing literacy in the context of big data, machine learning and smart technologies.
