A worse danger is that you will your self misunderstand your work.' Paul Graham\, 'Hackers and Painters'\, May 2003.\n\nToday\, computer programmers occupy a mythical place in public pe rception. They embody the revolutionary potential of disrupting a social o rder within which they themselves have implemented the most dystopian comp onents\, and their glamor arises from a combination of the most unglamorou s social clichés. They run the world\, they can bring it to a\nhalt\, yet most of their work is fully opaque to non-programmers. Hackers for hire ar e usually employed as 'software engineers\,' 'information architects\,' or mere internet plumbers\, but their modus operandi doesn't seem to align w ith any of these traditional disciplines\, and many software projects both originate and result in misunderstandings so grandiose that they often go entirely undetected.\n\nThis talk takes a closer look at what hackers do when they do what they do\, and attempts to derive a few utopian yet pract ical proposals for how programmers and non-programmers can collaborate. Wh ile the former is mostly concerned with establishing a historical perspect ive\, the latter may come with a certain sense of urgency.\n\nThe talk wil l be held in English.\n\nJan Gerber is an artist and software developer fr om Berlin.
