About
Art/Tech Hack Nights helps artists, technologists, organizers, students, and curious community members learn, experiment with, share, and collectively steward technologies used in contemporary cultural production.
Mission
Build capability, not only events
The long-term project is more than a workshop archive. It connects practical learning, gatherings, documentation, spatial experimentation, and community participation.

Origins and support
Built from workshops, growing through shared practice
Art/Tech Hack Nights began as a workshop series supported by the 2025 Urbana Arts Grant.
The early sessions created space for artists and technologists to learn together, test tools, compare workflows, and document what they discovered.
This site carries that work forward as an independent public platform for learning, experimentation, events, and community-contributed knowledge.
Project history
The first three sessions
The 2026 workshop series moved between shared fundamentals, remote experimentation, and hands-on systems work.
