Subject: [re-search] wanna hack or make art? ideas welcome for the Society
	of the Query #2 conference
Message-ID: <2BDF0702-C53F-4187-A221-25B3FAA51449@networkcultures.org>

Hi everyone,

We're busy putting the program together for the Society of the Query conference, November 7-8 in Amsterdam. Next to the talks and discussions, which are almost definitive, we'd like to present a side program with workshops, art, a hackathon, etc. It would be great to get input for an exciting and relevant side program from you on the list. What would you like to do and see when attending a conference like this? Which topics should be addressed? For example:

What are alternative search engines & how to use them
Are search results art?
Hacking Google results
A hackathon focussed on alternative search
?

Everything is worthy of consideration. Art, activism, hacks, and more! Please give us your thoughts so we can put together an exciting program.
If you want to help out, or have ideas for a hackathon or something else, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Best,
Miriam
