DEF CON China Live Music Event!

Posted 5.30.19

After a hectic day of hacking and mind expansion, it can be very the*****utic to clear the head by vigorously shaking the booty. 4 out of 5 doctors recommend the DEF CON China Live Music lineup to their patients.* It’s all going down the night of June 1, and the lineup is awesome. Prepare for a "crossover experience involving sound and light installation, immersive stage, technology and art.” You can learn all about the artists participating on the DEF CON China Entertainment Page.

If you can be there, be there.

*Ok, the doctors didn’t say that, but probably just because we didn’t ask. If we did, we feel pretty sure all five would have told you to join us.

DEF CON China FAQ image

DEF CON is well known for its technical side, but there is a vibrant artistic side as well. Each year, DEF CON invites live musicians and DJs from within the community to perform, and we hold contests for short stories and art to help us bring the year's theme to life.

We expanded the art contest to DEF CON China, and were delighted to find that every entry was amazing! DEF CON thanks everyone who shared their work with us. Extra special congratulations to the winners:

1st place: “Search” by Zhao Mengxi

2nd place: "Pursue the Sun" by Li Yuxuan

3rd place: “Ching Ming Festival Rain" by Arvin Dong

All three winners took their inspiration from our theme “Technology’s Promise” and delivered technically beautiful and personal artworks. If you’re in Beijing for DEF CON China 1.0, keep an eye out for our display of the winning pieces.

You can check out all the entries on the DEF CON Forums

DEF CON China 1.0 Venue!

DEF CON China Venue image DEF CON China Venue image DEF CON China Venue image

The spirit of hacking is the desire to extend the technological horizon by bending existing tech in new and unexpected directions. We build the future by rethinking and reshaping the present.

So it’s fitting that DEF CON China 1.0 will be held in the Beijing’s iconic Arts District at 751 D Park.

It’s an open location full of modern creative spaces carved from a foundation of 20th century industrial architecture. A perfect place to meet up with a few thousand hackers and discuss ‘Technology’s Promise’, don’t you think?

That, friends, is hacker.

We are very excited to begin the transformation of the 751 D Park space for DEF CON China 1.0, and we hope you’ll be able to join us there.
