Join us at Machine Project the afternoon of Saturday, July 23rd for GOOGLE WILL EAT ITSELF with special guests UBERMORGEN.

In this workshop/seminar we’ll explore global online economies through UBERMORGEN’s EKMRZ trilogy, which includes which includes GWEI (Google Will Eat Itself), Amazon Noir (The Big Book Crime) and The Sound of eBay. UBERMORGEN will share some of the strategies they’ve devised over the years for scamming these online economies, including manipulating Google Ads to purchase back shares of Google stock, and computer programs to steal copyrighted material from Amazon.com for ransom. Participants will have the chance to devise their own irresponsible projects, and end with class presentations of our new schemes.
