Zentrum für Politische Schönheit: Ein Jahr Adenauer SRP+ und der Walter Lübcke Memorial Park (en)

Stefan Pelzer, Philipp Ruch

Es ist genau ein Jahr her, dass der Adenauer SRP+ in der Halle des 38C3 stand. Damals war er noch eine Baustelle, aber schon bald machte er sich auf den Weg, um Geschichte zu schreiben. Wir nehmen euch mit auf eine Reise: von Blockade über Protest, von Sommerinterviews bis zu Polizeischikanen lassen wir ein Jahr Adenauer SRP+ Revue passieren. Das könnte lustig werden. Außerdem: alles zum Walter Lübcke-Memorial-Park, den wir gerade direkt vor die CDU-Zentrale gebaut haben. Owei owei: Das wird viel für 40 Minuten.
freiheit.exe - Utopien als Malware (de)

Christiane Mudra

"freiheit.exe“ ist eine Lecture über die ideologischen Rootkits des Silicon Valley. Sie schlägt den Bogen von den italienischen Futuristen zu den heutigen Tech-Feudalisten, vom Akzelerationismus zur Demokratieskepsis der Libertären, von Tolkien zur PayPal-Mafia. Basierend auf den Recherchen zu meinem Theaterstück "freiheit.exe. Utopien als Malware", in dem journalistische Analyse auf performative Darstellung trifft.
Code to Craft: Procedural Generation for the Physical World (en)

bleeptrack

Join bleeptrack for a deep dive into the fascinating world of procedural generation beyond the screen. From stickers and paper lanterns to PCBs, furniture, and even physical procedural generators, this talk explores the challenges and creative possibilities of bringing generative projects into tangible form.

The art of text (rendering) (en)

Nicolas Rougier

Typography is the art of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. However, for the neophyte, typography is mostly apprehended as the juxtaposition of characters displayed on the screen while for the expert, typography means typeface, scripts, unicode, glyphs, ascender, descender, tracking, hinting, kerning, shaping, weigth, slant, etc. Typography is actually much more than the mere rendering of glyphs and involves many different concepts. If glyph rendering is an important part of the rendering pipeline, it is nonetheless important to have a basic understanding of typography or there’s a known risk at rendering garbage on screen, as it has been seen many times in games, software and operating systems.
Persist, resist, stitch (en)

Philo

What does knitting have to do with espionage? Can embroidery help your mental health? This talk shows how the skills to create textile art have enabled people to resist and to persist under oppressive regimes for centuries. And it offers ways to keep doing so.
CSS Clicker Training: Making games in a "styling" language (en)

Lyra Rebane

CSS is a programming language, and you can make games in it. Let's install NoScript and make some together!
51 Ways to Spell the Image Giraffe: The Hidden Politics of Token Languages in Generative AI (en)

Ting-Chun Liu, Leon-Etienne Kühr

Generative AI models don't operate on human languages – they speak in **tokens**. Tokens are computational fragments that deconstruct language into subword units, stored in large dictionaries. These tokens encode not only language but also political ideologies, corporate interests, and cultural biases even before model training begins. Social media handles like *realdonaldtrump*, brand names like *louisvuitton*, or even *!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* exist as single tokens, while other words remain fragmented. Through various artistic and adversarial experiments, we demonstrate that tokenization is a political act that determines what can be represented and how images become computable through language.
a media-almost-archaeology on data that is too dirty for "AI" (en)

jiawen uffline

when datasets are scaled up to the volume of (partial) internet, together with the idea that scale will average out the noise, large dataset builders came up with a human-not-in-the-loop, cheaper-than-cheap-labor method to clean the datasets: heuristic filtering. Heuristics in this context are basically a set of rules came up by the engineers with their imagination and estimation to work best for their perspective of “cleaning”. Most datasets use heuristics adopted from existing ones, then add some extra filtering rules for specific characteristics of the datasets. I would like to invite you to have a taste together of these silent, anonymous yet upheld estimations and not-guaranteed rationalities in current sociotechnical artifacts, and on for whom these estimations are good-enough, as it will soon be part our technological infrastructures.

1965 + 60 Years of Algorithmic Art with Computers (en)

Enna Gerhard, Frieder Nake

What power structures are inherent to the field of computer-generated art? In the year 1965, so 60 years ago, the first three exhibitions of art created with the help of computers took place - in part independently of each other. We want to present the interesting aspects of developments since then and discuss them with Frieder Nake, one of the people who exhibited in those very beginnings and followed those developments with a critical attitude.
Variable Fonts — It Was Never About File Size (en)

Bernd

A brief history of typographic misbehavior or intended and unintended uses of variable fonts. Nine years after the introduction of variable fonts, their most exciting uses have little to do with what variable fonts originally were intended for and their original promise of smaller file sizes. The talk looks at how designers turned a pragmatic font format into a field for experimentation — from animated typography and uniwidth button text to pattern fonts and typographic side effects with unintended aesthetics. Using examples from projects such as TypoLabs, Marjoree, Kario (the variable font that’s used as part of the 39C3 visual identity), and Bronco, we’ll explore how variable fonts evolved from efficiency tools into creative systems — and why the most interesting ideas often emerge when technology is used in unintended ways.
Transkultureller Hack auf die klassische Musikszene – Vortrag und Konzert (de)

Johanna-Leonore Dahlhoff, Peter Klohmann, Alireza Meghrazi Solouklou, Mirweis Neda, Maria Carolina Pardo Reyes, Eduardo Sabella, Sarah Luisa Wurmer, Berivan Canbolat

Das Bridges Kammerorchester hackt die klassische Musikszene, indem es die Regeln des traditionellen Konzertbetriebs aufbricht: Musiker*innen mit und ohne Flucht- und Migrationsbiografie bringen Instrumente wie Oud, Tar, Kamanche oder Daf in die europäische Orchestertradition. Statt überwiegend Werke verstorbener männlicher, europäischer Komponisten zu spielen, komponieren die Mitglieder ihre Musik selbst – ein radikaler Perspektivwechsel hin zu Vielfalt und Selbstbestimmung. Im Vortrag zeigen sie anhand von Hörbeispielen und persönlichen Geschichten, wie diese Hacks entstehen und machen im Anschluss in einem Konzert die musikalische Vielfalt live erlebbar.
I Hated All The Cross-Stitch Software So I Made My Own: My Deranged Outsider Software Suite For Making Deranged Outsider Art (en)

yomimono

I wanted to design beautiful header diagrams and ASCII tables suitable for stitching on throw pillows, but found existing tools for cross-stitch design to be all wrong. I made my own set of command-line tools for building this chunky, pixelated visual art. If you've never seen a cross-stitch sampler that had bitrot, this talk will fix it.

Coding Dissent: Art, Technology, and Tactical Media (en)

Helena Nikonole

This presentation examines artistic practices that engage with sociotechnical systems through tactical interventions. The talk proposes art as a form of infrastructural critique and counter-technology. It also introduces a forthcoming HackLab designed to foster collaborative development of open-source tools addressing digital authoritarianism, surveillance capitalism, propaganda infrastructures, and ideological warfare.
Machine Vision – Vom Algorithmus zum Baumpilz im digitalen Metabolismus (de)

Thomas Knüsel

Milliarden von Kameras produzieren täglich Bilder, die zunehmend von Maschinen analysiert werden. In dieser Lecture Performance beleuchten wir die Entwicklung des maschinellen Sehens – von den frühen algorithmischen Ansätzen bis zu den heutigen Anwendungen – und schauen, wie verschiedene Künstler:innen diese Technologien nutzen und reflektieren. Anhand der beiden Arbeiten „Throwback Environment” und „Fomes Fomentarius Digitalis” betrachten wir die Nutzung des maschinellen Sehens in einem künstlerischen Feedback-Loop. Die Arbeiten machen sichtbar, was die eingesetzten Algorithmen sehen und in welchen Mustern sie operieren.
The Museum of Care: Open-Source Survival Kit Collection (en)

Nika Dubrovsky

The talk is about the ideas behind setting up the David Graeber Institute and the Museum of Care. The Survival Kit Collection brings together collectives developing open source "social technologies" —spirulina farms, self-replicating 3D printers, modular housing, low-cost water systems, and ... art and education. In 2019, together with David Graeber, we held the first workshop about the Museum of Care at CCC to reimagine the relation between freedom, technology and value. Over these 6 years, the Museum of Care and the David Graeber Institute have experimented with various projects: the survival collection, Visual Assembly, and creating an open space for horizontal knowledge production—something we hope to develop into an actual University.
Hegemony Eroding: Excavating Diversity in Latent Space (en)

Karim Hamdi

Hegemony Eroding is an ongoing art project exploring how generative AI reflects and distorts cultural representation. Its name speaks to its core ambition: to bear witness to the slow erosion of Western cultural hegemony by exposing the cracks in which other cultures shine through. This talk will discuss the blurry boundary between legitimate cultural representation and prejudice in AI-generated media and how generative AI can be used as a tool to explore humanity's digital foot print. It is permeated by a critique of purely profit-driven AI development and it's tendency to blunt artistic exploration and expression.
What You Hack Is What You Mean: 35 Years of Wiring Sense into Text (en)

Torsten Roeder

Encoding isn’t just for machines — it’s how humans shape meaning. This talk traces 35 years of hacking text through the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), a community-driven, open-source standard for describing the deep structure of texts. We’ll explore how TEI turns literature, research, and even hacker lore into machine-readable, remixable data — and how it enables minimal, sustainable self-publishing without gatekeepers. From alphabets to XML and the Hacker Bible, we’ll look at text as a living system: something we can read, write, and hack together.
