Computation
Join us for a public talk by the teacher of ,Consensual Hacking,, Melanie Hoff. The Origin of the Word explores language, connection, and intimacy across digital and social systems, reflecting the workshop’s focus on consent, boundaries, and relational technologies. Read more about the workshop ,here,.
Melanie Hoff is an artist, organizer, and technologist working within spaces of hacking and performance. Their work cultivates spaces of learning and collective reflection grounded in poetry and reconciliation for how we choose to live and what choices have been made for us. At the core of their practice is a study of intersecting systems of classification and power, building spaces—organizational and artistic—where contradictions can be held and futures rehearsed. Melanie teaches about art, sex, technology, design, and social cybernetics at Harvard, NYU, and Yale. Their work has been exhibited at the New Museum, Queens Museum, Bronx Museum, and elsewhere. They co-direct Hex House, an artist's space they co-founded in Brooklyn. They also co-founded Cybernetics Library, and formerly co-directed the School for Poetic Computation where they can often be found teaching from the edges of their research and experimentation.

At SFPC we believe that no one should be denied an educational opportunity because of their inability to pay. Through the support of funders and community donors, we are able to subsidize tuition-free classes and provide scholarships for participants.
Our scholarships directly redistribute wealth to those who might otherwise be unable to participate in our program. Scholarships are a critical resource on our way towards creating a more comprehensive free or donation-based model in the future.
We know this future is possible through the generous help of current, former and future participants, community members, and friends of the school on WithFriends. Please become a member to help us become a beautiful school that can offer free and low cost classes and events in the future.
