DATA

DATA is a decentralized organization of artists and hackers emanating from Concordia University's Computation Arts [CART] and Computer Science [COMP] programs.

 Ethic

DATA exists to create a community for new-media (art) students and practitioners in Montreal. DATA is based on the following principles adapted from hacker ethic:

• You can create art and beauty with (digital) systems.
• Artists and hackers should be judged solely by what they do.
• Information should be shared.
• Decentralization should be promoted.

• open to all DATA members.

• billed as "associated with DATA"
