EFF-Austin, a local organization in the Electronic Frontier Alliance, (not EFF) will host this event:
MoHA’s digital arts programs empower a diverse population of artists to use emerging and ubiquitous technologies in thoughtful and unexpected ways, while connecting technologists to local issues through community building. We host low-stakes, low-budget, yet wildly ambitious opportunities for chaotic, joyful, and collaborative experimentation with tech - and we pay artists to do it. Past events have included Edward Normalhands (the dangers of 5G as a live musical!), Game Show Game Jam (we bring the live studio audience, you bring the game show), workshops on how to break up with corporate software, over 100 net art commissions, and ongoing cohorts of artist and technologists working together to hack karaoke machines, debunk policial deep fakes, and challenge social media platforms. By putting tech in the hands of creative individuals who are at higher risk for its negative impacts and have less stakes in maintaining its status quo - what can be learned?

Our speaker this month is Rachel Stuckey. Rachel Stuckey is an artist and the Director of Digital Arts at The Museum of Human Achievement in Austin, TX, where she advocates for diverse voices in media arts and indie games. In 2014 she founded the Welcome to my Homepage Digital Artist Residency. She has previously worked as Gallery Director at Women & Their Work and community organizer for Girls Who Code. She is a member of the Digital Empowerment Community of Austin and served on the City of Austin and Travis County’s Digital Equity Working Group.
