thursday 8 june / on hacking grants


ideas on how to Hack Applications : 
    
    1. Flooding application from institution we want to attack. eg : sending hundreds of fake application to army recrutments. Also application forms are a good way of knowing what institution are coooking
    2. Creating an archive on application forms. Feed it to Chat GPT, use chat GPT to fill them, make em more and more meaningless, force the institution to change application process
    3. Creating an open call for Open Call automatisation project
    4. SQL Injection on application form to fill out full rows of excel sheet, get in contact with the institution
    5. Phishing, fake application form to contact other people that are applying, and being able to start a conversation with them. (the application form is a chat)
    6. Gathering people to fill out application forms together in a Hackathon to make it a collective matter and neutralise competition on instutionnal language skills. The application are then collectivelly decontaminated of the instutitional language. 
    7. Resist application standardisation as a Jury.

    informal notes from the exchange

how to react by being put in competition ? 
do pedagogy for institutions
apply for "social" contracts partly founded by the state, and be paied for your artistic work , following the model of Syndicat Potentiel art Residencies programs : http://syndicatpotentiel.free.fr
Language is getting emptier in application, and thus the project might also get emptier
colateral effects from apply to calls : normalization,  fog, start talking with same vocabulary than the institutions ones


how to react by being put in competition ?
help eachother for applications
publish the budget of a granted project
sharing answers of a formular, giving a copy-pastable material for answering a formular

Résumé
---------
- application forms are not wanted, how can we send a message to institutions that we are not happy with them ?
We might be applicants or maybe we are part of the evamluation comùittee, 
let's make a hackaton on applications

Making fun of authorities
