Media Hacking

Media Hacking is generally described very vaguely as manipulation of media technology. A more specific definition is the massive intrusion into mass media channels with standard technology such as email or mobile communications, mobile phones, etc... Usually these actions are carried out within the legal realm - or at least in the twilight zone of international law. Sometimes laws have to be challenged in order to update/optimize the legal system. We have to judge for ourselves whether its unethical to do so or its totally reasonable to put freedome of speech above an applieable law.

With such a cybernetic modus operandi – in the end only courage, intelligence and basic technological know how is necessary – we can achieve enormous reach and frequency in this age of the totally networked space. Popular media hacking projects are the „Toywar“ by etoy and „Vote-auction“ by UBERMORGEN.COM.

Please note: our projects are non-ideological, non-political. they are pure basic research experiments.
