Hak Pak Sak comments on infrastructure, identity, communication, and change. The name Hak Pak Sak comes from an old Dutch-Jewish saying. In Dutch, hak, pak, and sak mean the butcher’s ax, the peddlar’s pack, and the rag picker’s sack. At the start of the 19th century a majority of the Jews of the Netherlands made their livings as butchers, peddlars, and rag pickers. By the early 20th century Dutch Jews had emerged as doctors, lawyers, merchants, scholars, civil servants, labor leaders, artists, and athletes as well. Following their inspiration, Hak Pak Sak is dedicated to transformations in the worlds of work, physical infrastructure, and the web.
