"the digital hijack" by etoy 1996

with this action, etoy demonstrates the "room" behind popular interfaces of the world wide web. weak points and twilight-zones of this medium are the place of action... search-server-databases turn into projectors of individuality... etoy.software-agents control this systematic illusion and the hijack of bored net-travellers. resulting in 250,000 art-hostages in march 1996.

the technology-tourist is evasively assimilated into a trap configured by etoy.

the project "digital hijack" runs either until 1'000'000 users have been hijacked or etoy is supressed by the major search-server corporations. this will result in the termination of this project.

sound, digital terrorism and intelligent entertainment for the new travelling generation. the new lifestyle on internet: smashing the code. flashing the digital way of life.
