Programme of Events

Hacking has always been associated with innovative appropriations of existing resources, re-engineering, working below the radar, and modifying structures to reap new benefits. This is the approach for Interactivos?’12 Dublin, which will involve Medialab Prado and Science Gallery working together to set up an experimental production laboratory to channel hacker culture, and allow artists, designers, makers, doers, data nerds, hobbyists, citizen scientists, tech geeks, activists, edgy engineers and DIY urban planners to take control over the resolution of problems that affect urban communities in Dublin and worldwide.

Interactivos?’12 Dublin will move citizen science out of the garage/prototype stage and onto the street. Over 17 days, participants will collectively develop creative interventions and responses in relation to themes complementary to Science Gallery’s IDEALAB, including open data services, wellbeing and crowdsourcing public data.
