FFLABORATORIES (es) will teach workshop participants how to use a variety of hacker tools and give an introduction to the philosophy behind them. Special emphasis will be placed on virus techniques. A computer virus is a replicant spreading rapidly through the net, affecting the lives of thousands of people regardless of age, range, social status or nationality. In a way, a virus goes public with an enormous effect. Participants are encouraged to think of new ways of using viruses in a non-destructive manner. A special mailing list for the participants will be launched before the workshop, offering online information and an open space for discussion. FFLABORATORIES are Mia Makela, video and multimedia artist, and Ero Carrera Ventura, software programmer. http//www.fiftyfifty.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.
