It's an interesting hack. Assuming they did what they claim to have done they're a reasonably capable hacker. Who is interested in the politics of digital art. That combination seems unusual. If it's art then it has a contemporary feel. Would this sort of thing have happened before Wikileaks and Snowden? ArtLeaks have been working on transparency and whistleblowing: https://twitter.com/Art_Leaks but this is an honest-to-goodness leak. About digital art institutions. So I find it culturally interesting as well as politically interesting. :-) _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
