WED reading- Ade

Software art is art that is made on a computer by using a software to produce it, either by coding the software or manipulating open source code to make software art.

Example of tactical art is maphub.com, which is an online interactive map for pittsburgh created by people at carnegie mellon where people share local information about their neighborhoods.

Carnivore was a FBI program that was created to basically spy on people and invade their privacy by monitoring all thier internet activitives like email etc. RSG responded by making thier own sort of mockery version of carnivore, where they have a server, and other artists act like clients.
