TEAM

Data Dealer is developed by a small team based in Vienna, Austria - also including collaborators from Germany, Switzerland and the US.

We´ve been into gaming, open source and hacktivism since the late 90s. In our past we´ve been open source advocates, web developers, theorists, historians, artists, activists, mathematicians, educators, punk rockers, noise musicians, designers and illustrators. We love digital technologies, but the investigation of the social impacts of information technology is critical for a society in which people are enabled to make a positive and self-determined use of it.
