Critical Art Ensemble is a collective of five artists of various specializations dedicated to exploring the intersection between art, technology, radical politics, and critical theory.
Their tactical interventions have been deployed around the world and their range of concerns have covered a spectrum of contestational global politics including biotechnology, eugenics and electronic civil disobedience.

subRosa is a feminist collective working on a global stage. Their manifesto states: "subRosa produces artworks, activist campaigns and projects, sneak attacks, publications, media interventions, and public forums that make visible the effects of the interconnections of technology, gender, and difference; feminism and global capital; new bio and medical technologies and women's health; and the changed conditions of labor and reproduction for women in the integrated circuit."

The Violence Online Festival has been a remarkably successful project for Agricola de Cologne. The project has participated in innumerable world events concerning electronic tactical media. The artists participating in this event have been drawn from all over the world and their critical engagement with violence is multifaceted and extremely relevant at this global point of intensified bellicose rhetoric.

"Stop Motion Studies" creates a curious non-place where regardless of the specificity of the location, the subjects seem to inhabit an undifferentiated condition. The quirky animations are poignant and reveal a deep state of alienation. Globalization is fundamentally a normative force eradicating difference and rendering its subjects docile.

RTMark receives project ideas from internet users, and then lists them. This creates a highly organic network of related sensibilities addressing both local and global concerns. Each listed project has its own discussion list (linked from the project). The critical stance of the majority of these sites is best described by RTMark's philosophy of supporting the sabotage (informative alteration) of corporate products, from dolls and children's learning tools to electronic action games.

denniscucumber is a web remixing project. This implies the creation of web
pages built around the simplest concepts of the internet: linking
and framing. Each new page is created remixing contents from different sources on
the web. So images, text and sounds are composed in a new web site.
By manipulating systems of signs this remixer destabilizes the chain of signification so that new relationships of meaning can emerge.

online, virtual demonstration, politicizing the major themes of
globalization and the economy, the environment, antiracism, gender
issues, etc. The site also contains a section called "The State of Things", which presents an evolving portrait of the world today.
