Speaking engagements in Chicago this weekend

This weekend I’ll be in Chicago as part of the Eyebeam Roadshow and speaking at two events covering the always-fun union of art, technology, and activism.

May 4 – Mess Hall @ 7pm — 6932 North Glenwood Avenue. I’ll be speaking about the Music Blackhole, the world’s greatest music storage phenomena (no iTunes music share is safe). The rest of the Roadshow will be covering such diverse subjects as pharmaceuticals, advertising, and mashups.

May 5 – Versionfest 2007, “The Insurrection Internationale” on Saturday at 4pm. My talk will be on the Dissidence Toolkit and other ways of maintaining a secure citizens’ communication network. The talk is part of the Free University Program at Co-Prosperity Sphere — 3219 S Morgan St near 32nd Place.

Some background on the Eyebeam Roadshow:

New York’s premier center for art and technology flies in a renegade team of artists, hackers, and amateur astronauts to excite, inspire and amaze. The Eyebeam Roadshow will consist of 5 mini-lectures from fellows and residents of Eyebeam’s OpenLab and Production Lab. Topics may include; mind control, how to make a machine to make you famous, how to allow Chinese dissidents access to the internet, and anti-advertising judo. With Steve Lambert (Anti-Advertising Agency), Jeff Crouse (explosion), Jamie O’Shea (Founder of Placebo Brand Placebo), Stephanie Rothenberg (School of Perpetual Training), Jamie Wilkinson (Network Ninja).
