Digital Hijack
Etoy
Goldene Nica 96 - World Wide Web

The technology-tourist is evasively assimilated into a trap configured by the etoy.GANG. In this labyrinth, the fascination of manipulating and hacking the search systems becomes The Story.*
With an action lasting four months, etoy demonstrated the *space* behind the popular interfaces of the World Wide Web. The weak points in the system and the twilight zone of the medium formed the place of action. Search-server databases became a stage for self-presentation. etoy SOFTWARE AGENTS controlled the systematic illusion and hijack of hapless net-travelers: 250.000 art-hostages in March 1996.
