SuPerVillainizer – Conspiracy Client
LAN, Annina Rüst (CH)
*SuPerVillainizer* is an interactive Web project that takes a stand against thinking in terms of the cliché-ridden images of the bad guys that are the basis of new surveillance scenarios. By generating artificial villains, *SuPerVillainizer* calls conventional concepts of friend and foe into question. The way it does this is by designing profiles of desperados, rogues and scapegoats, setting them up with real e-mail accounts at Swiss providers, getting them hooked up in conspiracies and then watching how the rogues start passing conspiracy content generated by *SuPerVillainizer* back and forth to each other. Users can have input into the conspiratorial e-mails and choose the language of the conspiracy. In this way, the carefully planned surveillance databanks get infiltrated, bewildered and filled up with conspiratorial connections.
