Conçues à l’origine comme un outil pour combattre le harcèlement sexuel aux conférences hackers, les « creeper cards » ont depuis acquis un sens ambigu, voire négatif. Un vrai changement peut-il se produire dans une culture qui interprète tout selon ses propres termes?

With .dpi's audience in mind, here are (in no particular order) the top 12 performances, installations, conferences and workshops you won’t want to miss at this year’s Sight & Sound, the annual audiovisual art festival organized by Eastern Bloc.

Street Ghosts

The fleeting moments captured for posterity by Google’s Street View are recreated in Cirio’s intervention, which features life-sized posters of the people caught by Google’s cameras in the precise geophysical locations as seen on Street View.

Review by Deanna Radford with files from Candace Mooers.

With a new website, a new editorial team and a new blog, .dpi’s 27^th issue is ushering in a new phase for the online journal. The occasion was duly feted by .dpi volunteers, contributors and supporters this past Thursday at a launch party held at the Notre-Dame-des-Quilles bar.

The event featured the intervention of Danish artist Linda Hilfling, whose contribution to this issue’s discussion on hacktivism was a hack on .dpi itself.

The new .dpi team invites everyone to a special event on Thursday, April 25, at the bar Notre-Dame-des-Quilles (NDQ) located at 32 Beaubien East, starting 5 PM!

From 5 to 6 PM, the public will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the beta version of the new, more participatory, platform.

Those interested in contributing to the new .dpi blog, a communal space for feminist artists and their allies, can start blogging on the spot supported by the editorial team. Until 8 PM, you will be able to borrow the temporary username hacktiviste in order to publish on this website and participate in the live blogging session.
