Amazon Noir - Hacking Monopolism Trilogy.
2006. Mixed Media. dimensions variable.
This project was a Media Hack Performance. Amazon e-commerce websites were vulnerable targets. We eluded the copyright protection with software robots that used the front door of the “Search Inside” service. We stole complete digital volumes of books, reassembled them into .pdf format and redistributed them for free. It was carried out in the global mass-media, within the art world and on a highly sophisticated technical level. The action is documented by various types of offline conceptual installations.
