Hacker Manifesto

Just finished A Hacker Manifesto by McKenzie Wark. Really interesting book where he talks about hacking being a class stuggle between people who produce and the corporates who own the things that hackers produce. Something he writes which I think is very relevant to my project is “Hacking is the production of production. The hack produces a production of a new kind, which has as its result a singular and unique product.” In this, he’s talking about hacking in the truest sense of the word not the meaning given to it by the media of systems and databases broken into for gain or vandalism. But of seeing a thing and wanting to chance change it into something else, or improve upon it. To produce a new thing from it.
