Tactical Zapatista Flood Net
By Ricardo Dominguez, Carmin Karasic,
and Brett Stalbaum
The Zaps Flood Net is conceptual art that empowers people through
activist/artistic expression. By creatively selecting phases, for
example "human rights", the floodnet can request that of the targeted server,
sometimes returning a page stating: "human_rights not found on this server."
The server is forced to record a request for "human rights" in
it's log file.
Retaliation by the Mexican government on June 10th 1998 (the same day
of the military attacks on El Bosque), caused the browsers of peaceful floodnet
protestors to crash. It is recomended that you turn Javascript off
to avoid this aggressive countermeasure.
