Institute for Dissent and Datalove
The Institute for Dissent and Datalove is a loose collective comprised of hackers, artists, activists and tinkerers. It overlaps with networks of solidarities involved in active defense of free speech and free/libre technologies, technology critics and political interventions.
The Institute for Dissent and Datalove has so far mostly been used for operations of de/re-contextualization of large datasets, de-formatting of formats and playful use of liberating algorithms.
It tries to criticize and deconstruct itself, while remaining grounded in uncompromising collective practices of autonomy and solidarity.
Through playful and political anonymity, every project of the Institute can become its own ad-hoc network, its own community, its own "invisible committee"...

WEKILL//LEAKS is a 2-player card game of Courageous Publishing and Imperialist Sh!tf#ckery.
It is an experiment in political story-telling and historicisation of a deep and dense story: the story of WikiLeaks and its persecution by the Empire.
It engages players into projecting themselves in the shoes of the courageous journalists, hackers and publishers who were part of that story.
We will actively collect feedback through this session in order for the game to evolve towards its "v1.0".
