—Your Laptop
Please bring your laptop to all four days of the workshop. If you absolutely cannot bring a laptop, please let us know as soon as possible so we can make arrangements for you to use one on loan.

This is the wiki that Anja Groten and André Fincato of the Amsterdam-based collective Hackers & Designers designed and developed for the workshop! Read about it here. You/We will be posting your work to the wiki regularly throughout the workshop. Look out for an email from us early next week with your editor login and password. You will need it when we demo the site on Thursday, July 20th.

Sign in is from 1:30–2pm on Thursday, July 20th in front of Galef Center for Fine Arts, Otis College of Art and Design.

Stay tuned for an updated schedule in the next few days. Check out the work in progress here.

For those of you who have not been on the Otis campus. You can find the campus map here.

If you are commuting to Otis for the workshop, you can park in the Otis parking lot shown on the map. However, cars will not be allowed to stay in the lot overnight.

Otis College of Art and Design is about 4 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The campus of Otis College of Art and Design is located at 9045 Lincoln Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90045

We have secured a discounted rate for participants at the Custom Hotel, which is right across the street from Otis College of Art and Design at 8639 Lincoln Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90045 (310) 645-0400

When reserving, please inform the Custom Hotel that you are with Otis and would like the discounted rate. Be sure to confirm the current Otis rate of $126.11/night including tax. Let us know if you run into any difficulties. There is a free airport shuttle to / from the Custom Hotel for hotel guests. You must call the hotel to request shuttle service from LAX to the hotel.

There are Ralph’s (basic) and Bristol Farms (fancy) grocery stores plus other food options within walking distance of Otis for all budget levels. Car rental is not necessary if you plan to stay around the West L.A. area, as Uber and Lyft are cheap in L.A. and easy to use.

We will facilitate unhosted communal lunches and dinners during and after the workshop. However, everyone is welcome to plan their meals however and wherever they please.
