From the emergence of digital protest as part of the Zapatista
rebellion, to the use of disturbance tactics against governments
and commercial institutions, there is no doubt that digital
technology and networks have become the standard features of 21st
century social mobilisation. Yet, little is known about the
historical and socio-cultural developments that have transformed
the virtual sphere into a key site of political confrontation. This
book provides a critical analysis of the developments of digital
direct action since the 1990s. It examines the praxis of electronic
protest by focussing on the discourses and narratives provided by
the activists and artists involved. The study covers the work of
activist groups, including Critical Art Ensemble, Electronic
Disturbance Theater and the electrohippies, as well as Anonymous,
and proposes a new analytical framework centred on the performative
and aesthetic features of contemporary digital activism.
