== The H&D COOP ==
Hackers & Designers (H&D) is a conglomerate of practitioners from different fields and backgrounds (technology, design, art, and education) currently operating between Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Brussels.
H&D is organized in a cooperative fashion, distributing responsibility over finances and decision making. Members of the collective are: Selby Gildemacher, Anja Groten, Heerko van der Kooij, Juliette Lizotte, Karl Moubarak, slvi.e, vo ezn and Ren Loren Britton.

== H&D Activities ==
H&D pursues its goals by developing annual activity programs consisting of interconnected hands-on '''workshops''', public lectures, performances, game and hack events, meet-ups, experiments in '''publishing''', and the annual '''H&D Summer Camp''' – a 10–14 day immersive workshop program. H&D organizes activities from the idea of a flattened hierarchy. Tutors and mentors become participants, participants become workshop leaders – everyone is taken on the collective venture of shared responsibility – bringing into conversation their own expertise, urgencies and experiences. Along with organizing participant-empowering hands-on workshop H&D builds and maintains free and open source tools, self-hosts technical infrastructures and produces on - and offline publications. Inspired by intersectional trans*feminist thought and practice H&D stimulates collaboration across differences (age, gender, race, ability, skills, interests, species, materials) and aims to imagine and work together toward desirable techno-social and eco-conscious futures.

== The H&D Network ==
H&D operates locally in the Netherlands as well as internationally. Since 2019 H&D operates from a shared studio at NDSM loods in Amsterdam, which serves as our ‘headquarters,’ where we meet, develop workshops, and sometimes also host guests and public programs. H&D's overall objective is to stimulate and support exchange within a larger international network of hackers, designers, artists, and researchers, who find it relevant to critically challenge and actively reimagine monocultures and monopolizations of invasive and extractivist platforms and tools. The H&D network could also be described as a network of tool makers. By tools we mean software and/or hardware constructions but also pedagogical tools and tools for collaboration that enable critical engagement with, and through, technology. The network reaches to places such as Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, U.S.A., Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Korea, Switzerland, The United States of America, Aotearoa (formerly known as New Zealand), and Zimbabwe. Sister initiatives take off around the world and feed back into H&D, for instance through the H&D Summer Camp.

== H&D Code of Conduct ==
While H&D activities are organized from the idea of a flattened hierarchy, it is important to ensure an environment of mutual respect that is safe and welcoming for all participants. H&D therefore wrote a Code of Conduct, and will continue writing, reviewing, and incorporating new insights into it. This document intends to make explicit what it takes for us as a community to create such a safe environment and what to do when it is at risk: [[Code of Conduct| H&D Code of Conduct]]

== De H&D COOP ==
Hackers & Designers (H&D) is een groep van beoefenaars uit verschillende velden en met verschillende achtergronden (technologie, design, kunst en onderwijs) die momenteel opereren tussen Amsterdam, Rotterdam en Brussel.
H&D is georganiseerd op een coöperatieve manier, waarbij de verantwoordelijkheid over financiën en besluitvorming wordt verdeeld. Leden van het collectief zijn: Selby Gildemacher, Anja Groten, Heerko van der Kooij, Juliette Lizotte, Karl Moubarak, Pernilla Manjula Philip, slvi.e en vo ezn.
</div>

== H&D Activiteiten ==
H&D streeft haar doelen na door het ontwikkelen van jaarlijkse activiteitenprogramma's die bestaan uit onderling verbonden hands-on '''workshops'', openbare lezingen, optredens, game- en hack-evenementen, meet-ups, experimenten in '''publiceren'', en het jaarlijkse '''H&D Summer Camp'' - een 10-14 daags immersief workshopprogramma. H&D organiseert activiteiten vanuit het idee van een afgevlakte hiërarchie. Docenten en mentoren worden deelnemers, deelnemers worden workshopleiders - iedereen wordt meegenomen in het collectieve avontuur van gedeelde verantwoordelijkheid - waarbij ze hun eigen expertise, urgenties en ervaringen inbrengen. Naast het organiseren van workshops die de deelnemers actief betrekken, bouwt en onderhoudt H&D gratis en open source tools, host technische infrastructuren zelf en produceert zowel online als offline publicaties. Geïnspireerd door intersectioneel trans*feministisch denken en handelen stimuleert H&D samenwerking over verschillen heen (leeftijd, geslacht, ras, bekwaamheid, vaardigheden, interesses, soort, materiaal) en streeft ernaar om samen te werken aan een wenselijke technosociale en eco-bewuste toekomst.

== Het H&D Netwerk ==
H&D opereert zowel lokaal in Nederland als internationaal. Sinds 2019 opereert H&D vanuit een gedeelde studio bij NDSM loods in Amsterdam, die dienst doet als ons 'hoofdkwartier', waar we elkaar ontmoeten, workshops ontwikkelen en soms ook gasten en publieke programma's ontvangen. Het algemene doel van H&D is het stimuleren en ondersteunen van uitwisseling binnen een groter internationaal netwerk van hackers, ontwerpers, kunstenaars en onderzoekers, die het relevant vinden om monoculturen en monopolies van invasieve en extractivistische platforms en tools kritisch uit te dagen en actief te heroverwegen. Het H&D netwerk kan ook omschreven worden als een netwerk van toolmakers. Met een tool bedoelen we software- en/of hardwareconstructies, maar ook pedagogische hulpmiddelen en hulpmiddelen voor samenwerking die een kritisch engagement met en door middel van technologie mogelijk maken. Het netwerk reikt tot plaatsen als Armenië, Oostenrijk, België, Canada, China, Tsjechië, Denemarken, Frankrijk, Duitsland, Ierland, VS, Roemenië, Rusland, Slowakije, Zuid-Korea, Zwitserland, de Verenigde Staten van Amerika, Aotearoa (vroeger bekend als Nieuw-Zeeland) en Zimbabwe. Zusterinitiatieven ontstaan over de hele wereld en worden teruggekoppeld naar H&D, bijvoorbeeld via het H&D Zomerkamp.

<div class="mw-translate-fuzzy">
== Gedragscode H&D ==
Hoewel de activiteiten van H&D georganiseerd zijn vanuit het idee van een afgeplatte hiërarchie, is het belangrijk om te zorgen voor een omgeving van wederzijds respect die veilig en gastvrij is voor alle deelnemers. H&D heeft daarom een Gedragscode opgesteld en zal deze blijven opstellen, herzien en er nieuwe inzichten in verwerken. Dit document is bedoeld om expliciet te maken wat er voor ons als gemeenschap nodig is om zo'n veilige omgeving te creëren en wat we moeten doen als deze in gevaar is: [[H&D Gedragscode| H&D Gedragscode]].

After 2 wonderful weeks in Korea during which H&D, dianaband and Hee-ju developed 'Sounds from Earth,' the workshop is now finally coming to Amsterdam!
'''Are you between 10 to 100 years old?''' Join us at our NDSM studio for this special hands-on worldbuilding workshop!

[[File:SfE-5.jpg]]

Sounds from Earth is about world-building, live-action role-play, and working with simple electronics. We invite participants to co-create a fictional story while building a network of small electronic objects. The purpose of the network is to (re)connect to and communicate with our environment. It will be a 'sounding' network and allows us to communicate beyond the use of words and to interact with approach “nature” not as something to dominate and extract from but as something we are part of and live with and we need to relearn to attune to.

The workshops are open to participants with different technological abilities and of various ages, from teenagers to elders and everything in between. We will bring our imagination together to connect to the environment and other-than-human entities through non-verbal communication. Inspired by natural networks of communication such as mycelium, we ask ourselves how we can enter into meaningful exchange with the world around us and achieve a deeper sense of interconnectedness.

What information do we collect around us, what is legible, and what do we understand, interpret, and project meaning onto? What is lost in translation? Can we get comfortable with the miscommunications and the unknown?

''Together we are a forest!

it doesn't matter what shape we have in this forest or what sounds we make, we are all interconnected into a chaotic polyphony. We each have our own personality but make sense as a whole. The wind is a vital force in our ecosystem and accompanies us through our cycles. Its unpredictable nature maintains our community, it's bringing us the energy we need in mysterious ways.

An echo in the wind brought us a rumor: the wind could become still, which would threaten our unique ecosystem's equilibrium... and sooner than we can imagine... we know that, because we attune to the wind and to each other in our own unique way . We do so with the help of symbiotic companions that help us channeling messages of the wind and carry our worries and hopes for the wind to consider.

The wind doesn't understand words, only maybe intentions through sounds, vibrations and blows, that is how we send and interpret messages.

Our companions are made of extracted minerals and oils transformed into components that we found discarded from others in our ecosystem...

When the wind blows with a certain strength and in a certain direction, we come together to send our wishes to the wind.....''

=Background=
Sounds from Earth is a collaborative project between the Netherlands and South Korea, involving Hackers & Designers, dianaband, and Hee-ju. It explores the ecological impacts of modern technology, from large data centers that harm local habitats to fiber optic cables that affect marine life through heat, turbidity, and risks like sea life entanglement. The project also examines the environmental damage caused by deep-sea interventions and terrestrial mining for materials like lithium and cobalt, used in tech devices, highlighting their role in resource depletion, geopolitical tensions, and unequal wealth distribution.

Sounds from Earth is supported by [https://cultuurparticipatie.nl/ The Cultural Participation Fund]. The Cultural Participation Fund aims to encourage and increase participation in the arts and culture.

After 2 wonderful weeks in Korea to develop and facilitate first iterations of the workshop, Sounds from Earth is coming to Amsterdam!
We will give a 2-day version of our workshop Sounds from Earth, an international collaboration between Hackers & Designers, Diana Band, and Heeju Lim with the students of the Design Department of Sandberg Insituut.

'''Only Sandberg Design department students are able to join the workshop'''

A shorter workshop open to all, and an evening of sound exploration at occii will take place the following week on December 7.

Sounds from Earth is a series of workshops about world-building, live-action role-play, and working with simple electronics. We invite participants to co-create a fictional narrative while building a network of small electronic objects that facilitate (re)connection to and communication with our surroundings. The sounding network explores communication beyond the use of words, allowing to approach “nature” not as something to dominate and extract from but as something we are part of and live with and we need to relearn to attune to.

=Context=
Sounds from Earth is a collaborative artistic exploration between the Netherlands and South-Korea, Hackers & Designers, dianaband and Hee-ju, that aims to create a space to critically and imaginatively address the ecological impact of user technologies: from the construction of large-scale data centers that damage or even erase local habitats, to the fiber optic cables that impact the marine environment through heat, turbidity (during cable burial), risk of fatal entanglement of sea life and the introduction of artificial substrates into the ecosystem. Interventions into the deep-sea environment as well as terrestrial mining used to source materials such as lithium or cobalt for chips and other components inside our communication devices and network infrastructures are exhausting the earth and are the cause of geopolitical tensions and asymmetrical distribution of wealth and power.

The workshop is developed over different iterations, during which participants join in co-creating new collective imaginaries and narratives around alternative, regenerative formats and devices for networked communication and eco-conscious interfacing with our environments. The workshops are open to participants with different technological abilities and of various ages, from teenagers to elders and everything in between.

In this workshops we will bring tools, skills, and pedagogies together to explore our relation to the environment through non-verbal communication with other-than-human entities. Inspired by natural networks of communication such as mycelium, we ask ourselves how we can enter into meaningful, reciprocal dialogue with the world around us and achieve a deeper sense of interconnectedness.

What information do we collect around us, what is legible, and what do we understand, interpret, and project meaning onto? What is lost in translation? Can we get comfortable with the miscommunications and the unknown?

''Together we are a forest!

it doesn't matter what shape we have in this forest or what sounds we make, we are all interconnected into a chaotic polyphony. We each have our own personality but make sense as a whole. The wind is a vital force in our ecosystem and accompanies us through our cycles. Its unpredictable nature maintains our community, it's bringing us the energy we need in mysterious ways.

An echo in the wind brought us a rumor: the wind could become still, which would threaten our unique ecosystem's equilibrium... and sooner than we can imagine... we know that, because we attune to the wind and to each other in our own unique way . We do so with the help of symbiotic companions that help us channeling messages of the wind and carry our worries and hopes for the wind to consider.

The wind doesn't understand words, only maybe intentions through sounds, vibrations and blows, that is how we send and interpret messages.

Our companions are made of extracted minerals and oils transformed into components that we found discarded from others in our ecosystem...

When the wind blows with a certain strength and in a certain direction, we come together to send our wishes to the wind.....''

=Workshop Details=
In this workshop we will work with ESP32 modules, motors, pure data and our imagination :)

==Storytelling and interactive activation of Sounds from Earth with H&D, dianaband & Hee-Ju Lim==
Sounds from Earth is a series of intergenerational workshops about world-building, live-action role-play, and working with simple electronics. Through different iterations we invited participants to co-create a fictional narrative while building a network of small electronic objects that facilitate (re)connection to and communication with our surroundings. The sounding network explores communication beyond the use of words, allowing to approach “nature” not as something to dominate and extract from but as something we are part of and live with and we need to relearn to attune to. Join us early to explore the symbiotic forest companions that will have been made during the Amsterdam edition of this workshop and discover how the story unfolds!

''H&D, dianaband, Hee-Ju & Jaehyung in the forest on Jeju island''

==Performance by dianaband==
Dianaband (Dooho & Wonjung) is a interdisciplinary artist duo based in Seoul. In their sound performance, 'Cats and Paper Boxes', Dooho plays with feedback resonance. Through various objects placed between a contact microphone and mobile speakers, he creates hidden sounds, subtle coincidences, and unpredictable sound events. Wonjung rides on this tide of wave with the Drawing Synthesizer, an instrument where 'drawing' is 'making sound'. Exploring the infinite possibilities of drawing with paper and pencil, she manages the momentum of the spatial narrative all around the space.

''dianaband performance''

==Performance by vegetable wife==
Vegetable Wife is from Seoul. She yearns for noise and noise-making beings that escape from ethics and morality. She tries to strip away the many ideas attached to the sounds, while simultaneously suturing the sounds with different origins. Her sound exists inside a tear-and-paste loop through synthesising, collaging, recording and mixing it. With visual artist Jae-hyung Park, the sound synthesised with the video to extend the scape.

''𝒱𝑒𝑔𝑒𝓉𝒶𝒷𝓁𝑒 𝒲𝒾𝒻𝑒's Audio-visual Live performance, Wednesday Invitation @ channel1969''

==Interactive sound installation The Wishing Well==
The Wishing Well is a work by SasaHara, activated in collaboration with Alex Olloman

The Wishing Well is an interactive sound installation, activated through audience interaction, performances and workshops. It consists of both a space to inhabit, and at its centre a self-made instrument working as a randomized loop station. The musical activations of the piece were designed in collaboration with the British composer and singer-songwriter Alex Olloman. The work appears as a shrine for voices, a sacred place of vocal archive. At its centre is the sculpture of the Wishing Well, inside which audiences are invited to share their voice. Through programming the Well combines the wishes and voices shared by people who have passed by it at different times. The audience’s involvement creates a communal, evolving piece that fuses sounds and algorithmic thinking into an archive.

SasaHara Ghanem-Chaney (French-Algerian, 1993) is a multidisciplinary artist born in Paris and based in Amsterdam since 2017. With a background in public space art management, and cultural economics they worked in the cultural field as a public programmer, exhibition producer and fundraiser. Their artistic work explores mythmaking as a tool to archive the queer experience, and as a support for community engagement. Their practice combines elements of text, music, installation and performance.
