SUMMARY:Hacker Movies!
DESCRIPTION:No enrollment limit\, no advance sign up\nParticipants welcome at individual sessions (series) \nSince the 1980’s\, hackers have been a favorite subject of Hollywood and television. In this film series\, we’ll be watching some classic (and not so classic) examples from the genre\, looking at how the depiction of hacker characters has changed over time. After the screenings\, we’ll adjourn for an informal discussion about how these different perspectives reflect changes in how hackers are viewed by mainstream society\, and connections between popular culture depictions of hackers and federal computer crime statutes and prosecutions. Also featured: popcorn! A collection will be taken up for pizza when people are hungry. Come see the movies you like\, and stay as long as you like. \nContact: Molly Sauter\, (267) 337-3861\, msauter@MIT.EDU \nThe Wunderkids\nWar Games (1983)\nHackers (1995)\nMon Jan 16\, 06-10:00pm\, E15-344 \nThe Old Guard\nSneakers (1992)\nSwordfish (2001)\nTue Jan 17\, 06-10:00pm\, E15-344 \nThe Big Bad\nTake Down (2000)\nLive Free or Die Hard (2007)\nThu Jan 19\, 06-10:00pm\, E15-344 \nNot All White Dudes After All\nThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009) (Swedish with English subtitles)\nCowboy Bebop\, “Jamming with Edward” (1998) (Japanese with English subtitles)\nLeverage\, episode to be announced\nFri Jan 20\, 06-10:00pm\, E15-344

SUMMARY:Alternate Reality Game (ARG) Creation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Mon Jan 30\, 09am-01:00pm\, 4-145\nTue Jan 31\, Wed Feb 1\, 10-11:00am\, 4-145\nThu Feb 2\, 10-11:00am\, 4-265\nFri Feb 3\, 10am-01:00pm\, E14-633 \nEnrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)\nSignup by: 25-Jan-2012\nLimited to 30 participants.\nParticipants requested to attend all sessions (non-series) \nAn Alternate Reality Game (ARG) is an activity where players enter a fictional world\, discovering more and more of a hidden story\, characters\, and challenges as they move through the game. During this workshop\, groups of students will develop an ARG for the MIT Libraries to use as an orientation activity. On Monday\, we will talk about ARGs and present some basic ideas\, and the constraints and resources for the game will be presented. Students will be working on their own throughout the week to plan out the ARG\, and there will be a time each day for the class to meet and groups to present on their progress and get ideas. On Friday\, each group will present their ARGs to each other\, library staff\, and other MIT faculty. By the end of the workshop\, participants will understand what an ARG is\, will have created the structure for an ARG\, and will also know more about key resources in the library. \nThe focus in this workshop is on the game design and not the programming of game software\, so no programming expertise is required. The final product will be a paper-based plan and prototype that may be accompanied by digital media as a demonstration. \nContact: Scott Nicholson (Please register at link below)\nCosponsor: MIT Libraries
