Yes Men   Leave a comment

I thought the Yes Men were very funny. That was probably one of my favorite things in the class this year. These guys go out and do ridiculous things, like pretend to be a corporate business man on national TV. I could never do that, for fear of going to jail or being sued or […]

Movie Response – Nike Ground   Leave a comment

I wasn’t sure what the video had to do with hacktivism during the first minute or so, but then I got really interested in it. Nike changed the name of Karlsplatz to Nikesplatz, and I don’t think it’s surprising that people didn’t like it. This is a good representation of what large corporations are doing […]

Hacktivist Project – LulzSec   Leave a comment

LulzSec was a group of six (possibly more) people similar to Anonymous, who hacked websites and gathered information that was supposed to remain secret. The reason I say “was” is that they are in hiding now for fear of other hackers and the authorities. They were exposed by other hackers after getting into a “war” […]

Hacktivist Project – Anonymous   Leave a comment

I am extremely interested in Anonymous. They can be ruthless, cruel, and I’m pretty sure they can access any information they want on the internet. At the same time, they are working hard towards keeping our internet free, attacking websites and governments that support bills like SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA. When working together, they are […]

Hacktivist Project – Wikileaks   Leave a comment

http://www.projectworldawareness.com/2010/09/wikileaks-and-hacktivist-culture/   That website talks about Wikileaks and the controversy behind it. I think it’s interesting because of the fact that the governments are so aggressive when dealing with leaked information. At the bottom of the page, it says “…it’s public data…it belongs in the public domain…information should be free…if it’s out in the open…it […]

Edge of Art – Ch. 3   Leave a comment

What are some of the reasons for a surge in digital autobiographical production from “home pages” to “wearcams”? – People feel that there is an imbalance between ordinary citizens and organizations and institutions that use cameras. It plays around with the ideas that people tend to behave more when they know that they’re on camera […]

Edge of Art – Ch. 4   Leave a comment

Describe the difference between political design and hacktivist art. Use an example of each and describe how that work fits the category of design or art. – Political design is used to wield power. Hacktivist artists don’t want the power that politicians do, they want to change or create for the better, not for the […]

NMD206 Movie – Phone Phreaks   Leave a comment

I really enjoyed watching the movie. A very important point was brought up about halfway through, when the definition of “theft” was questioned. It was said that the crime had to be done for money, and also it had to deprive the original owner of their property. Both of these were argued against, because it […]

Sarah Van Gelder – How Occupy Wall Street Changes Everything   Leave a comment

1. What is changed by the Occupy movement? – The level of awareness has been changed by the Occupy movement. Sure, people always knew that there were rich people. They knew that there was a large gap between them (the middle class) and all of those CEOs, magnates, corporate big shots. But the Occupy movement […]

Eli Pariser – The World Needs You to See it With Fresh Eyes   Leave a comment

This article shows that a lot of the organizations and systems that are active or in use today are made by mistake or by a small group of people just doing what they think is right. Eli Pariser launched an online petition based on what he felt he was obligated to do as an American, […]
