IX by H3XEN @ DEADTECH

Saturday May 10
7 - 10 PM
FREE

H3X3N, a crew of computer witches and artist-hackers will cast spells
on unsuspecting computers at DEADTECH with their IX project this
Saturday May 10. IX is an enchanted cube that glows and sings as it
casts spellwares on Windows, Macintosh and Linux computers, hacking
and hexing these operating systems. IX contains nine randomly
executed spells, set free by shaking a glowing cube that sings in
it's own magical language. IX combines traditional stage magic tricks
and irony as elements of Hacker culture to create an Interactive
Installation and Software Art project. The first build of IX was
developed by H3X3N during the Interactivos? exhibition at the Media
Lab Madrid and this current version is being designed and developed @
DEADTECH in Chicago.

H3X3N, a collaborative computer witchcraft club from Chicago, IL .US,
Mexico City .MX and Linz .AT, is currently composed of Mark Beasley,
Sandra Rosas Ridolfi, jake elliott, tamas kemenczy, Alex Inglizian,
Nina Wenhart and jonCates.
