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 […]

A webpage that interacts with the user in a variety of ways depending on the input of the user. It can use anything from lines to pictures and video, to colors, numbers, and words in return. The user might input a math problem, and the webpage will respond with a math-related video or other random […]
A Cyborg Manifesto Leave a comment
What is a cyborg, or rather why is thinking about cyborgs useful for exploring identity? Is identity single? Dualistic? Paradoxical? What roll does gender play in cyborg identity vs conventional cultural identity? – Give two examples of cyborgs in books, comics, games, or films you have seen. Describe the cyborg, explain its role in the […]
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 […]
