Sunday, July 22, 2018: 4:00 pm (Booth): A session to critically analyze the figures of the hacker and the shaman, their ontological similarities and their journeys as travelers of their respective "black boxes" - the computational network in the case of the hacker and the human conscience in the case of the shaman.
