B&E for breakfast: practical urban exploration in NZ

Presented at Kiwicon 4: The four e:Sheep-persons of the Cyber Infopocalypse (2010), Nov. 28, 2010, 11:30 a.m. (45 minutes)

The physical world: in an age full of inter-cubicle tweets and farmville key performance indicators it's easy to forget that it exists, but it's out there and it's packed to the brim of interesting shit to see and semi-legally explore. This presentation will focus on the practicalities of going places you're not supposed to go without permission and actually getting away with it afterwards. Ever wanted to see some of New Zealand's most beautiful real-world critical infrastructure... from the inside? Hospitals, storm drains or power stations it's all there for the taking, so smash your hug-boxes and we'll show you how.


Presenters:

  • Rob
    Crawling on their stunted flipper arms from the poisoned radioactive wasteland of Christchurch's premier seaside resort and sewerage treatment suburb of New Brighton, Rob and Alhazred have together busticated into more industrial sites than you've eaten Mrs Mac's steak & cheese pies. Rob enjoys walks on the beach, little fluffy kittens, and reading books on nuclear reactor theory. Alhazred enjoys walks on the beach, collecting pressed flowers, and fucking shit up.
