Please write a few sentences about yourself, add links to your other websites, blogs, biographies, artworks.
- try to add images
- "internal links" to other pages on the hackteria wiki
- "external likns" to websites
- embed a youtube video?

DIWO - Do It With Others
Leadtext
To engage with the most pressing issues (environment, social injustice, globalisation) of society, artist have embraced new transdisciplinary practices, which combine the use of open source tools (OST) and hacking strategies in a collaborative manner with "others". DIWO (Do It With Others) Culture will introduce such strategies through case studies, hands-on experimentation and team projects to the students. This first edition will focus on OST for environmental monitoring and artistic interpretation.
Target Audience
Artists & designers, socially engaged practioners, creatives in general, researchers, hackers, activists and anyone interested in DIWO Culture - HaSTA.
No previos knowledge in electronics, hardware or software tools is necessary, but a basic interest in learning something new is crucial.
Max. Participants is 12.
In case of high interest the participants will be selected by a criteria to increase diversity of the group (gender, cultural background, skills and previous educational training)
Learning Goals
- basic understanding of a selection of open source tools for environmental monitoring
- first steps into sensing and electronics
- learn how to use open source tools for aerial mapping
- improve cross-cultural / transdisciplinary communication and collaboration
- get insigth and compare different artistic practices in a global context

My research and experiments with DIY aerial photography in Palestine-Israel focuses on civic science in spaces of civic inequality mostly in East/West Jerusalem. It shifts away from the focus on environmental issues; though the environment is always there within a range of systemic rights abuse, from discriminatory urban planning, through land expropriation to forced displacement. I work with communities, NGO's and local institutions entangled in urgent issues who find it relevant and inspiring to create their own, high quality, local scale aerial photography. Some of the collaborations presented here are activist projects oriented towards a particular issue, workshop or event such as the cases of Beit Safafa and Silwan. Other projects present long term collaborative work which is made possible through ongoing collaborations with affected communities, funded through partnerships with NGO's and academic programs such as the work we do in west Jerusalem with the civic architecture unit in Bezalel, and the work in the Negev (south of Israel) with Zochrot and Forensic Architecture, and the research collaboration with Dorit Naaman in Qatamon.

Update 7. August 2018:
HIGHLIGHTS EXHIBITION 2018 AT ZHDK
After the second mapping at Aargauerstrasse with many asylum seekers joining the making of ballooning cameras and flying, we received the great message to exhibit our idea and work at HIGHLIGHTS 2018 (see all Information here: [[1]]).
Our exhibition will contain 4 parts:
>> materials of the mapping. balloons, plastic bottles, knives, cameras etc. >> 2 maps. 1 mapping of Toni/shelter, 1 mapping of Basislager/shelter Aargauerstrasse, printed. >> database. to use highlights as a platform to connect target groups. >> meet-ups. open discussion format on specific dates on important topics about migration in Zurich / Switzerland.
Our team works to make the exhibition as interesting and fun for visitors as this project is for us. THANK YOU to: Kathrin Maliszewski, Stefan Hegglin, Marc Dusseiller, Dominique Lämmli, Annemarie Bucher, Mia Seulmi Kang, Michael Schmid, Tessa Tedorovic u.a.!
