Day of Community: ITP at Radical Networks Conference

ITP will be participating in the Radical Networks conference

October 19-22, 2017

Brooklyn, NY

Radical Networks is a conference that celebrates the free and open Internet.

It fosters critical discussion on contemporary issues that include surveillance, the spread of misinformation, ownership of personal data, and the increasing opacity of "The Cloud".

It's also an arts festival that considers networking technology as an artistic medium, featuring works that run the gamut from ethical hacks to creative experiments to live performances.

This event brings together artists, activists, community organizers, journalists, technologists, educators, and the public, to exchange ideas and look under the hood of what makes the Internet work. Radical Networks is in its third year and it's the first festival and conference of its kind in the United States. It will take place in Brooklyn, NY from October 19-22, 2017.

ITP Alumna Sarah Grant is one of the organizers.
