Small Hassles Court is a digital game where players practice different approaches to interpersonal conflict resolution and self-governance.
The court is situated within the broader narrative world and landscape of Twisterland, an online game world designed by Plot Twisters that fosters self-reflection and emotional literacy. The Governable Spacemakers Fellowship was designed to support the extension of governance capabilities in an already existing digital art artifact or world. The fellowship invited a team of three fellows to combine artistic, technical, and ethnographic methods to produce an interactive online space for exploring a particular aspect of self-governance, as well as a speculative ethnography detailing their the team's working process and the implications of their work in the context of an evolving landscape of where and how governance happens online.

Founded in 2002 by Marcela Okretič and Janez Fakin Janša, Aksioma – Institute for Contemporary Art, Ljubljana is a private, non-profit cultural organisation that produces, presents and disseminates art projects as well as exhibition, discursive and educational programmes with the aim of critically understanding the structures of contemporary society and the role that new technologies play in shaping the way we perceive it.

As part of the MTA’s Vacant Unit Activation Program, the Data Vandals created a data-art kiosk and conversation space on the downtown 6-train platform at 51st & Lexington.
