Upgrade! Joburg has organized and will host a new art and technology group primarily based in Johannesburg but with members from across South Africa.

The Hacksaws group had its first meeting today in the Seminar Room of the Digital Arts Division. The group has 16 members to date and anyone with an interest in art and technology is welcome to join. This group is made up of professionals (not necessarily artists) who have an interest in Art and Technology. We hope that the group will be a place to form collaborations for new projects and exhibitions; work towards the generally uplifting and furthering the practice of art and technology in South Africa.
