The New York Times explores the “global movement is hacking, subverting and critiquing the hardware, software, content, visuals — even the philosophy of the wired world.”
This work is created using and hacking the very same technologies and methods it is often commenting on.
Examples include
- Hacking Nintendo cartridges to create new games, music and video art
- Subversion and satire of sites and online experiences, such as http://www.gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogle.com/
- Texts and images are provided in the recreation of a copyshop, allowing everyone to copy and alter any of the artwork
