Abstract

This dialogue is based on a two hour-long online video call I conducted with Carmin Karasic, multimedia artist and founding member of the Electronic Disturbance Theater (EDT)[1] and Micha Cárdenas, transgender new media artist and part of the Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0[2]. Both consider themselves hacktivists i.e., politically motivated hackers[3] and use technology to facilitate forms of social and political activism. Carmin and Micha have not met prior to the interview. They are part of two different EDT generations, which explains the exceptional dynamic of the conversation.
