FIGHT THE STATUS QUOA Chicago artist by the name of Kerry James Marshall donated a painting for auction to raise money for a museum. It sold for $700k. It then turned up on Christie's auction list and was valued at at up to $1.5 million at the time. It sold for $5 million. He saw no royalties from any of those sales.Fast fashion giant, Zara, often steals and blatantly creates exact copies of works from independent artists, including Tuesday Bassen, Maria Ines Gul, Mokuyobi, and more.Just recently, 7.8 millions user accounts for the mobile browser game, Town of Salem, were hacked.And there's the classic story of the young man, Shawn Fanning, of Napster who ruined it for musicians the world over by scaling the peer-to-peer trade of music over the internet.As artists and consumers of digital assets, today we get effed the world over. The effing's got to stop.

Location:  1951 Coffee Company, 2410 Channing Way, Berkeley, CA 94704 Sponsored by ThonX WHAT IT'S ABOUT How can mental health professionals raise awareness about critical issues, increase access to care or improve treatment? These are a few of the problems likely to be addressed this weekend.  We are coming together to raise awareness on depression problems that has affected the refugee community. Depression has become a silent killer in our communities and we need to stand together against this issue.  Depression and a lack of mental health has become one of the most serious and costly issues of our time, especially for young people. We - ThonX, 1951 Coffee Company, Samuel Merritt University School of Nursing,   have got together in the hope that we can collaborate and change this. WHO WILL BE THERE This inclusive hack brings together some major players in the tech and healthcare sectors. Attendees will come from a mix of disciplines like psychology, healthcare, biology, software, data, AI, UX, strategy, video, art, pharmacology and games design. Organisations represented will include universities and colleges as well as a host of other agencies and organisations. HOW WILL WE DO IT Participants will collaborate, explore and co-create prototype solutions to help people with depression and those close to them, i.e. friends and family. Participants will be fully briefed before the event. Participants will be grouped into teams, each of which will identify a problem that needs to be solved in the field of mental health, devise a solution and build a prototype. There's a prize for the best proposal focusing on underserved populations. As an example of a potential proposal, a team might pitch an app aimed at people suffering from depression designed to reduce feelings of isolation by increasing their connections to others. Coding skills or prior experience in hackathons are not needed to participate. We encourage teams to form with a wide variety of backgrounds and skills. WHERE AND WHEN  January 12 2019 The participants will present their "pain points" – issues that need to be addressed – form teams, and brainstorm how to address those issues. Saturday’s event is open to the public and will begin in the morning and end in the evening with an award ceremony. All this action will take place on the 12th January Food and drinks (and some very special entertainment!) will also be provided. All in all it's a great opportunity to make a difference on a very significant issue, meet some very talented people, extend your network, get some great credentials, learn a lot, share and be part of a story that says you helped something with serious purpose happen!
