Notacon is an art and technology conference which takes place annually in Cleveland, Ohio.
While many hacker conventions focus on the mechanics or political issues that surround such activities, Notacon’s focus is more on the underlying beauty or artistry of the technique of hacking, as well as other ways to apply a “hacker mentality” to the areas of art and music.
Hence, in addition to topics of technology and computer security, many aspects of both the art and music world are represented.
The concept of “community through technology” is one of the main focuses of Notacon, with the participants being dedicated to the advancement of computer technology.
