Taking the discussions back into the underworld, Cyber.Salon 7 takes on 'Hacker Myths and Realities' by asking, "Do we have the courage to create our own future? Or do we rely on governments, institutions, organisations and cyber-hype?"

There will be a screening of 'Hacks', Christine Bader's feature- length documentary, explores hacking myths, chaos lifestyle, cultural hacking, piracy, social engineering, Net-activism and digital democracy. The film gets beyond media theory and

explores networking as it is lived. This fast-forward documentary examines people's relationship to their ever expanding technological universe and brings home the point that hacking is about humans, not machines.

Also in "da house" will be spy.org's Mark Dziecielewski and AndiRom Cameron with HRC Kingpin Richard Barbrook reclining in comfy chair. All this happens next Wednesday (24th) from 7:30pm in the basement of Cyberia, 39 Whitfield Street and it's free.
