Deep Lab (Documentary by Jonathan Minard)
http://studioforcreativeinquiry.org/projects/deep-lab

Deep Lab is a congress of cyberfeminist researchers, organized by Addie Wagenknecht to examine how the themes of privacy, security, surveillance, anonymity, and large-scale data aggregation are problematized in the arts, culture and society. During the second week of December 2014, the Deep Lab participants—a group of internationally acclaimed new-media artists, information designers, data scientists, software engineers, hackers, writers, journalists and theoreticians—gathered to engage in critical assessments of contemporary digital culture. They worked collaboratively at the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry in an accelerated pressure project, blending aspects of a hackathon, charrette, and a micro-conference. 

The first phase of Deep Lab‘s research and publications are the product of a group residency at the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at CMU, in partnership with the CyLab Usable Privacy and Security (CUPS) Laboratory at CMU, and made possible through support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Art Works program of the National Endowment for the Arts.
