WordHack

I founded WordHack in the summer of 2014 to create a communal space where people making language-based digital projects could share their work and meet each other. The format consists of 3-4 presenters giving short talks / performances (~15 mins) and an Open Projector where anyone from the audience can sign up to present their work for 5 minutes or less.

WordHack happens in NYC on the third thursday of every month at Wonderville (1186 Broadway in Bushwick). The show was based out of Babycastles for its first 6 years, moved online during the pandemic before landing at its current home at Wonderville. I have been hosting and curating the series since July of 2014.
