‘Free Kevin’ is a hacker screening series which re-imagines the role of the curatorial inside network culture, where information is often freely, widely and anonymously distributed online. 15.4 GB of downloaded films and documentaries depicting computer culture from the 1980s-2000s, from blockbuster films to educational television programming to documentaries produced within the hacking community itself, are made available on request to individuals and institutions wishing to host a screening and to stimulate dialogue around issues of open culture.
Free Kevin premiered in New York City at Art In General hosted by General Public Library in October 2010; was hosted in Stockholm by Konst & Teknik and Martin Ström in December 2010; and was mirrored in Amsterdam by Roel Wouters & Jonathan Puckey in December 2010.
