  • 099


Sunday, July 11, 2004: 5:00 pm (Area "A"): The Carbon Defense League (CDL) and Conglomco are two tactical media arts collectives engaged in both technical and social hacking processes. Their first collaboration with each other was a website that facilitated barcode relabeling for "user defined pricing." The site was live at re-code.com before it was shut down by pressure from Wal-Mart, Kellogg's, Price Chopper, and the FBI. CDL and Conglomco will present details of their past and present projects (including peoplesjeans.com) and discuss alternative tactics for media intervention.
