List of hackathons in Oxford, United Kingdom in 2018

EDIT - This event is now SOLD OUT. There are a couple more dev-only tickets so contact the organisers if you are one. Livestream available from 10am here. HACK Fear is an interdisciplinary hackathon bringing together technologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, academics, hardware tinkerers, UX, gamers, activists with parkour and mindfulness practitioners to team up and experiment on designing and building out ideas and solutions to hack our own fear and develop our self awareness through technology. There will be: Interactive workshops, both physical and non Intensive hacking sessions where teams work on the design and implementation of a prototype that makes progress in hacking fear Input and feedback from subject matter experts Deeper work uncovering and moving past your own fears and shared ones We welcome coming both solo and as a team. Cross disciplinary teams will be created with the intent to maximise the potential towards successful fear hacking. The ideas that come out of Fear Hack could contribute towards R&D for the award winning work of Karen Palmer, who is currently in development for RIOT*, an emotionally responsive, film, which uses facial recognition and A.I. technology to navigate through a dangerous riot. Please note: Bring a laptop. The event will be livestreamed and remote listeners will have opportunities to input comments/requests. Inform the organisers if you do not want to be recorded. *RIOT: You are confronted by a riot cop. Respond with fear and the film goes in one direction respond with anger and it goes in another. RIOT makes the player aware of their subconscious behaviour and enables them to consciously build new neurological pathways in their brain, to override automatic behaviour responses and create new ones.
