Anybody can become a member of ®TMark by simply deciding to support one of their many creative sabotage actions against multinational corporations, politicians and the new myths of the digital age. "Corporations are complete and utter machines working to increase the wealth of the shareholders, often in detriment to culture and life. ®TMark is a machine to improve the culture and life of its shareholders, often in detriment to wealth," Ray Thomas, spokesman for the group, declares. Its best-known actions include mirrors, parodies of official pages of politicians and corporations.

For the Public, TTTP is a non-profit foundation which organises different types of activities, with the aim of making technology accessible to the less affluent areas of society. In actual fact, it is an artistic project in the making, with the objective of provoking reflection about the use of the new media and about the new mechanisms of exclusion generated by a computer-literate society. "People say that new technology will give us freedom, and it is seen to be a fairer, more democratic area, but I can’t help asking myself who really has access to it?", Andújar exclaims.

Antoni Muntadas, the father of Spanish digital art, has lived and worked in New York for many years. This project, produced in 1994 for the Randolph St. Gallery in Chicago, is one of the pioneers in the use of Internet as an instrument for social criticism and as a territory where an unofficial history can be reconstructed, through the contributions of all net-users. File Room has been constructed as an on-line community archive about cases of cultural censorship around the world, which allows users to access the database, add new information and take part in a discussion forum.

In Internet, everything is for auction: in Absolute Sale, lots from the former Eastern European bloc are sold. After selecting a geographical region, the user goes through the standard procedures in order to take part in an on-line auction. However, as he continues, the user realises that the merchandise for which he is bidding is an artist from the chosen region. The project, by a Yugoslav collective, is designed to make us think about social and personal identity and about the situation of the artists who lived their golden age in the socialist bloc, compared with the later collapse of the bloc, the ethnic wars and the desperate economic crisis.

This project tranforms the computer interface into an anarchistic operative system, in which Batman and Robin turn into socialist revolutionaries and the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas is transformed into the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. Click after click, the user discovers a parallel world, where nothing is what it seems. The site shows Andy Cox’s works and documents the actions of the collective Together We Can Defeat Capitalism, which he founded. Its aim is to point out the incongruences of the current capitalist system and the negativity of consumerist ideology, opening up a new area for discussion and critical analysis.

This startling, politicised work created by the Australian artist with the collaboration of Michael Grimm and the collective Los Fantasmas, The Ghosts, intimidates the user with an uninterrupted flow of visual and aural stimuli. Dedicated to the Mexican Zapatista movement, the project divides the screen into five micro-stages, where a linear narrative takes place, mixing sentences and images from various contemporary cultures with distrurbing military photos, treatises on war strategies and messages in ICQ that come from well-known multinational corporations. The complete runthrough takes about 25 minutes and the user does not need to interact with it.

Conceived as an artistic vision of daily life, this project is dedicated to employee number 12,995 and to his frustrations and angst. Throughout his life, Meyer has analysed, with irony, the human being’s role and the concept of identity in the world dominated by corporations and the New Economy. The user is invited to follow the daily routine of a faceless employee and to interact in a series of situations that are typical in the world of work. Only after having overcome a series of trials can the user follow the employee home, get to know his domestic arrangements and experience his alienation and loneliness...but take care, because there is a surprise waiting in the bathroom...

Since 1997, RTI has based its artistic demonstrations on creative recycling and the use of free programmes (shareware). It has recently opened a trash media lab in Sheffield, where all the equipment comes from tips. Its website is meant to be a catalyst for artistic activity: its aim is to generate creative processes, not to be considered a work of art in itself. "The media pay a lot of attention to projects carried out with the newest and most expensive technologies, but more than works of art, they look like creative exhibitions of the latest technological advances of the corporations. The aim of our installations is to demonstrate the potential for technology at no cost," says James Wallbank, founder of the group.

This theater group was founded in New York in 1996 and carries out performances based on re-readings of famous texts by writers such as George Orwell, Edgar Allan Poe and Samuel Beckett. All the activities take place in the street and the group takes advantage of the numerous surveillance cameras that abound in Western cities to retransmit their actions via Internet. This means that, on the one hand, they protest about the violation of privacy and on the other, they make the public more familiar with the latest surveillance technology, so that there is a greater awareness of the social implications of the generalised use of these types of control and public debate about its use in democratic society is encouraged.

Maintaining his antimilitarist ideology, and in collaboration with Joe Dellinger, Deck has created a project which encourages us to the analyse the relationship between the armament industry and the media. Based on the press coverage of the latest Balkan conflicts, Deck accuses the Government and the American communications groups of manipulating the truth. In order to demonstrate this, he has made a montage of various actual battle scenes, where the segment retransmitted on televison is accompanied by the images immediately after, which the public did not see. The images that were never retransmitted give us much to think about.

Co-founder of the Electronic Disturbance Theater, among other projects, Domínguez organises virtual sit-ins. These are acts of protest that use Internet as their field of operations, with the objective of temporarily blocking certain websites. Most of the attacks have been carried out in favour of the Zapatista movement and against the Mexican government and related authorities, such as the Bank of Mexico, but they have also waged protests against institutions such as the Pentagon. The actions are carried out through a small application called FloodNet, which can be downloaded from the EDT site. When it is used simultaneously by a large number of people, it blocks the targetted website.
