The Disruption Network Lab e.V. (gemeinnütziger eingetragener Verein) is a registered non-profit organisation in Germany. The organisation produces the "Disruption Network Lab" programme, an ongoing platform of conference events and research focused on art, hacktivism and disruption.The Disruption Network Lab presents and generates new possible routes of social and political action within the framework of hacktivism, digital culture and information technology, focusing on the disruptive potential of artistic practices. The Lab investigates projects that disrupt the field of information technology in unexpected ways, shedding light on interventions that provoke political and social change. The programme is developed through events where artists, hackers, activists, networkers, whistle-blowers and critical thinkers enter into dialogue.The first series of conference events (April-December 2015), under the name "Disruption Network Lab", covered a wide spectrum of issues: from the use of drones during conflicts, to the emergence of social media practices challenging our privacy; from the reflection on identity, pornography, and sexuality in post-digital contexts, to the new frontiers of bio-hacking; from whistleblowing as a way of exposing sensitive information, to political stunts and tactics of disruption."Art & Evidence" was the framework of the second series of conferences (June-November 2016). Inspired by a conceptual exchange of director Tatiana Bazzichelli with Academy Award-winning filmmaker and journalist Laura Poitras, art & evidence referred to the act of revealing facts, exposing misconducts and wrongdoings, and producing awareness about social, political and technological matters. Whistleblowing, leaking, and disclosing were investigated in their imaginative potential. "Outer Spaces" is the theme of 2017. The first event of the series focused on prisons as hidden zones of repression and detention in the framework of whistleblowing and truth-telling.
