Yläkaupungin Yö arts festival
May 16th 2009, from 4 p.m. to 00.00 a.m.
Jyväskylä University Main Building lobby
Live Herring workgroup invited media artists Mari Keski-Korsu and Mika Meskanen to carry out Pimp My Passport workshop to Jyväskylä on May 16th , 2009 as part of the program of Yläkaupungin Yö arts festival. Workshop will take a place in Jyväskylä University Main Building lobby from 4 p.m. to 00.00 a.m.
Pimp My Passport workshop examines DIY and hacking prospects as well as control and privacy issues of the RFID passports currently being rolled out throughout the European Union. It also plays around with the notion of nationality and its symbols - seeking new ways to signal identity by “pimping” personal travel documents. In workshop we are crafting protective “Faraday cage” passport covers for passports.
Although dealing with heavy subject matter like electronic privacy, big brother and nationality, Pimp My Passport is a playful, hands-on project that anyone can take part of. It is realized in Jyväskylä as non stop workshop so you are welcome to join when it’s good for you. If you wish, please take your passport with you for testing your passport cover.
Realization of Pimp My Passport workshop in Jyväskylä has been supported by AVEK (The Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture).
