Hacking
I began to experiment with the idea of hacking and the hacktivist, the online activist. Hacking is about giving voice to something more prominently, editing information or ranking information. A hacker is usually a figure who is unauthorized, illegitimate and undercover who breaks into the official system of a website or other online construct in order to present new or alternative information as legitimate. Hacktivism is a form of internet activism that subverts the use of computers and computer networks to promote a political agenda or a social change. In this exercise I began to hack my own Fourth World Wikipedia page, presenting new and alternative images of this territory. Oracles, glitches, spamming and viruses became my new spatial tools.
