1) The two main interrelated tactics used in tactical media are hacking an existing object in order to change its nature (repurposing of data or machines), or hacking for the purpose of suppressing or changing a message in the system (DDOS attacks, twitter account hacks). The first is more regularly considered an artistic/studious endeavor, while the other is considered criminal and garners more headlines. Going forward, which will most help hacktivists to fully realize their goals?
2) In this rapidly changing digital environment, digital interventionist works produced just ten years ago can already seem obsolete, tied inexorably to the era in which they were created. Does this ephemeral, era-specific nature give these projects urgency, or does it just necessitate constantly evolving works from adaptable practitioners?
