The Hacker Farm wiki connects research, operating principles and adaptation plans.
Issued 2026-10-10 · v09 · Preparation stage
Hacker Farm is a shared farm exploring questions through technology and art. HACKER FARM is the main name; STUDIO is a small secondary descriptor. We observe, repair and create, leaving records that others can build on.
We are designing a membership fee model for a shared farm, without property rental revenue. No members have been recruited. The first-season plan is for 12 people at KRW 360,000 per person for 12 weeks, with six three-hour sessions every other week. Start dates, facilitators, detailed support and refunds are being prepared. Applications, bookings and payments are not open. Sharing personal work, photographs or records is voluntary. Technology and art are respected as independent areas of inquiry.
Read the operating principles →We do not discard a project simply because it is old. We first document its question, structure and working principles, then adapt it to available components, software and our setting. Our sequence is source review → principles to retain → adaptation design → small prototype → field trial → record failures and reproduction steps. The work below is a plan, not evidence of completed builds or validated performance.
Start with a question from the field, then connect observation with technology.
Next check: Locate the original logs, check their format and build an example that others can reproduce.
Use a stable identifier to connect a physical object with its location and condition.
Next check: Choose an actual tool, check its condition and design a record for it.
Bring light, paper and energy together as a form of expression.
Next check: Set out the creative intention and proposed materials, then define conditions for testing a small model.
All 17 research groups remain candidates for use. This does not mean every source has been translated, run or field-tested.
Controller: Sangmin Lee, Nature Community. Data: email, optional interest, preferred language and consent time. Purpose: first-season preparation and recruitment updates. Retained until first-season updates end or a withdrawal request is processed. Consent is optional; without it we cannot accept an email update request. Address confirmation before the first mailing is being prepared; automatic confirmation emails are not currently sent.
Only with permission, Google Analytics receives page views and clicks on update and download links. We do not send email, personal notes or search terms, or measure input pages. Your choice is stored in this browser for 90 days. Actual requests are counted separately on the server. Google processes connection data and analytics cookies. Change your choice here at any time.
Get first-season updates →Next we need to check each source’s runtime and licensing, component availability, prototype behaviour, field safety, facilitators and the support we can actually provide. Detailed inclusions and refund terms will be checked against the season plan. Real activity records will be labelled separately. Language support for on-site activities has not yet been confirmed.
Changes are recorded as the plans develop. Earlier drafts are not current operating terms.
