Hash Award 2018 | Virtual Goes Real I Part 1

What are creative people working on on the net worldwide? Which topics move them? What are your questions? And what artistic answers do they give to developments in technology, society and the Internet?

Based on the hash value from information technology, which is unique for each file and is used as a check value during data transfer, the hash stands for an outstanding project. From virtual reality to artificial intelligence to surveillance technologies - three times a year, tenders with different focuses are developed within the framework of "Web Residencies". In two years, some 550 artists, coder, designers, technologists and scientists have submitted ideas. 22 of them were awarded Web Residencies.
