The Electronic Disturbance Theater and Electronic Civil Disobedience
Attention is turning to the Electronic Disturbance Theater, the activist group behind the concept of electronic civil disobedience. Founded in the late 1990s around artist Ricardo Dominguez, the group staged online 'virtual sit-ins' using floodnet software to overwhelm targeted websites, notably in solidarity with the Zapatista movement in Mexico. The work blends performance art, hacking-style protest, and political theory, and continues to be cited in debates over the ethics and legality of digital activism.
Why now: The topic resurfaced on a widely read discussion forum, renewing debate about digital protest tactics pioneered in the 1990s.
