Image 3 (Cultural hacking)

Culture Hack is a digital development programm for arts and culture that enables the creation of innovative digital prototypes and creates new working relationships across the arts, technology and the creative industries.

Culture Hacking is an art. It’s also an empirical process – you have to make a change, see what works, make more changes and so on. Culture hackers each have their own aesthetic and also share techniques, practices, and “culture software”.

Culture hackers see culture as something they can modify and improve on. Culture hackers operate at different scales, sometimes simultaneously on the level of internal experience of an individual, on the level of individual behavior. between two individuals, or between a team of three or more. Culture hackers operate on teams inside companies and outside them, on the level of one team or many teams, and even at the level of whole societies or even groups of societies. It is okay to saying that culture hackers like test on new things, they are okay with being uncomfortable in a new strange culture that they are trying out for first time. Everything have the first time, just see whether you want to take the first step.
