moddr_Zero-Day Fruit

walter — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:28:35 +0000

moddr_ joined in on the general open day frenzie of Dutch hackerspaces combined, with open labs in Enschede, Den Haag, Arnhem, Heerlen and Leeuwarden, among others.

Despite a timid crowd, we managed to get a fair amount of work done on Birgit Bachler‘s new “Farmville meets DataSurveillance” gardening project – more on that via this site soon – and Dennis de Bel threw out two new ‘cute but wrong’ pieces in true zero-day hack style; quite the contrary to hackerspaces.nl‘s proposed focus on “ethical hacking”, hehe….

Alpiner is a network scanner – wifi and 3g (limited) – that exposes iDevices vulnerable to the ssh root password attack vector. In passive mode it will stealthy scan the network your connected to for weak devices and save their details for later use.Alpiner is highly flexible and scalable: besides a passive scanner, it can also act actively, such as ‘respring’ or rebooting a device, as shown in this video. Besides total control of it’s actions, multi-device- (Apple, Android, RIM, Windows), multi platform (osx, ios, linux) and multi-network-support it can run on your (cloud) server as a convenient background service.

BINL❤VER @ Eyebeam

walter — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:25:14 +0000

BINL❤ER, one of Philipp Teister’s latest projects that was produced in WORM’s moddr_lab last summer, got featured in the context of Fran Ilich‘s ‘Diego de la Vega‘ project at Eyebeam in New York, NY.

sez Philipp:

“The Diego de la Vega experimental economies and finance research group @ Eyebeam, presents:BINL❤ER, a user oriented outbound data-dealing service, adding new value and appreciation on data discarded by its original proprietor and relocating the data to other users on a supply-and-demand basis. Teister switches between the roles of social engineer and data entrepreneur, bringing orphaned files into contact with those who are unable to provide their own.BINL❤ER is like a great tsunami, when it hits you, it will capture your data forever.This project started and has been produced during my stay in Rotterdam, NL at WORM/moddr as artist in residence, June 2011._

I would love to see you around.best -Philipp”

about ‘Diego de la Vega’:

Diego de la Vega™ it’s a coin-operated cooperative media conglomerate where real people work a thirdlife, creating a virtual industry thru network connections in order to produce material results in the real world. Its nano-macro-economy is measured with the Digital Material Sunflower currency, which can be acquired or earned thru digital labor.

Globalized capitalist markets use finance as a means to extract surplus and value from localized world production – relying on networks of power to do so. But finance can also be reversed engineered so that it becomes the seed for new forms of cooperation, collaboration and socialization, drawing on and building networks thru virtual communities.

Used creatively, finance can actually further the prosperity and efficacy of community building thru narrative media, solidarity agriculture, digital labor and other activist practices, as well as strengthen the hope of sustainability in creative digital labor and internet production practices.

Another world is possible.

Chief Executive Officer: Fran Ilich (NYC).

sez ‘hackerspaces.nl‘:

“Op 31 maart 2012 openen hackerspaces in Nederland hun deuren voor iedereen die wil weten wat hackers bezighoudt en waar zij mee bezig zijn. Nederland telt momenteel tien hackerspaces. Een hackerspace is een ontmoetingsplek en werkplaats, waar technologisch geïnteresseerden, creatieven en kritische beschouwers elkaar ontmoeten, ideeën uitwisselen en samen aan projecten werken.”

come see what moddr_’s up to, here…

unlike.us

walter — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 20:53:34 +0000

From 8-10th of March Walter Langelaar of moddr_/WORM will be present at the second ‘Unlike-Us’ event, where he’ll also give a presentation on “Artistic Responses to Social Media” and a joins a panel discussion moderated by Josephine Bosma.
‘Unlike Us 2′ is the second event on ‘alternatives in social media’, where artists, designers, scholars, activists and programmers gather. This international research network analyzes the economic and cultural aspects of dominant social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Through workshops, conferences, online dialogues and publications, the Unlike Us network intends to both analyze the economic and cultural aspects of dominant social media platforms and propagate the further development and proliferation of alternative, decentralized social media software.

Dilly-Dally Foundry

walter — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:58:56 +0000

Up till the 14th of March 2012, De Zwarte Ruyter is ringmaster to the willy-nilly realm of Dennis de Bel, accompanied by his stupendous Dilly-Dally Foundry. The Foundry is made up out of four indispensable workshops that all together typify our local la-di-da-lion-heart to his bitter essence. No obscurities, no pretend, no mumbo-jumbo. Simply hard work, sweat and long forgotten in-between leisure will do the trick: http://www.dillydallyfoundry.com/

M$_Kinect-based 3D-scannr

walter — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:57:16 +0000

Erik Overmeire, permanent hardware-gabber in residence at our studios, is wrapping up work on the M$_Kinect-based 3D-scanner we asked him to build. We already saw some very promising meshes as Erik was ironing out stepper-motor bugs, so we’re pretty much gearing up to scan pretty much everything in our surroundings – to then dump it in our upcoming 3D warehouse, so you can print your own version of WORM at yr local 3D printer’s… (and in the meantime we’re preparing for the next project which will be a mobile version of the scanner).
Keep an eye on the website for more geeky goodness, and check out Erik’s work at www.lifthoofd.nl
