Decoding the Cultures of Hacking
Hack_Curio is a video portal into hackerdom that helps explain why hacking is one of the most important phenomena of global culture and politics in the late 20th and early 21st century. Our site features short video clips that are accompanied by a brief explainer about the footage. Our material hails from many different sources: Hollywood and Bollywood film, documentaries, tv ads, talks, homebrewed videos, newscasts, and more. You can find the full catalog of the videos, entries, and authors under "the list" or just visit the category pages, listed below, to find a set of videos united by a shared theme. From military sock puppets to corporate spooks to rick-rolling protesters, what you’ll see here is that hackers do different things and cohere into distinct traditions. They are people of different kinds: they are young and old, men, women, and nonbinary. They are not invisible, immaterial, hidden or cloaked except, of course, when they want to be. Hackers are funny, and scary; hackers are do-gooders, and assholes; they write code; hunt for bugs; tell the government to fuck off; land in jail (and even break out of jail); they work for three-letter agencies and expose them; they secure and break into our systems; invent new laws; bitch and rant; whistle, hum, and rap. Many people have something to say about hackers, from drag queens to politicians. Still curious? Dive in.

Do you order different sizes of clothing online, knowing you can return the one that doesn't fit?
Did you know the ones you return are sometimes sent straight to landfill?
Online shopping has created a boom in perfectly good products ending up in dumpsters and landfills, according to Adria Vasil, an environmental journalist and managing editor of Corporate Knights magazine.

The Center for the Living Things is the research pata-institution founded in 2016, in order to examine, collect and popularise the knowledge concerning new humanotic nature forms. All exhibits gathered in the Institute’s collection are abandoned objects, used and no longer needed commodities – wastes of human overproduction, which have become the natural environment for many living organisms. Specimens were found in illegal waste dumping site, where the transgression of man-derived objects and plant tissues take place.

Il progetto LIFE+ LOWaste ha sperimentato a Ferrara un modello di economia circolare basata sulla prevenzione, il riuso e il riciclo dei rifiuti in una logica di partnership pubblico-privato. Partendo da alcune sperimentazioni pilota ha creato le basi per la nascita di un vero e proprio distretto locale di economia verde circolare. Distretto formato da operatori dei rifiuti, piccole piattaforme di recupero, artigiani e PMI impegnati nella valorizzazione delle materie e nella produzione di riprodotti.
Affordable Land (or ‘Community Land’) is a form of leasehold that precludes speculation, and so allows councils to license land as a low-cost platform for society and the economy, instead of simply selling it to land traders. It requires no government borrowing, no new legislation and it can exist alongside the existing property market.
La extrusora de polímeros cumple la función de transformar partículas de polímeros en una sección continua de material. Se propone utilizar polipropileno reciclado de las tapas plásticas de botellas, para ser transformado a un filamento usado por las impresoras 3d. Es decir, transformar un desecho a filamento y el filamento a cualquier cosa que queramos imprimir. En esta etapa del proyecto el polipropileno triturado lo encontraremos en empresas que se encargan de triturarlo y lavarlo.
