3beards, the company that organises the weekly Silicon Drinkabout networking events, has partnered with the Whitechapel Gallery to create an hackathon that will unite artists and coders.
The event -- called Art Hack -- aims to bring together 50 hackers and 50 digital artists and musicians for 48 hours to create whatever they like from publicly available data. The teams will be able to use a number of different datasets, including social data from Brandwatch, music data from Echonest as well as publicly available open data, such as TFL's live transport data. The brief is simply to "create something amazing" that will reframe the way we think about the data that surrounds us every day. The results will be showcased at a celebratory Digital Sizzle party at the Gallery on 26 September 2012.
