Art Hacking Project

There are some interesting projects that is somehow have connection with hacking but utilize in term of art and design.John Borland has mentioned those projects.

1.Transparency Grenade
Artist : Julian Oliver

About the project :
The Transparency Grenade is an iconic
cure for this frustration, making the process
leaking information from closed as easy as
pulling the pin.There will be a pin that can
be pulled out and the images and web sites
will be extract out from local Wi-Fi and portray
them to a screen that display what local phone
and computer are looking at. It is equipped with
a tiny computer and powerful wireless antenna.
The Transparency Grenade capture network
office and audio at the site and securely streams
it to server where it is mined for information.

About the project:
It is involving in detecting the location without the GPS by hijacking a kind of Wi-Fi signal where the signal from any location of the city will be collected in the Wi-Fi data receiver then tunneled online to another location and rebroadcast.14 Wi-Fi router are separately turned into 14 channel of frequencies of the 802.11 Wi-Fi Standard.The entire idea and concept is about repositioning electromagnetic
infrastructure into different space.



Not only that, there are also another projects that quite interesting:
Prosthetic knowledge: Assembled a series of creative project with ongoing theme.

Oculus Rift
Among the projects, it is quite outstanding and capture the attention of audience which the creation is creative enough to inspire new ideas and new experiences.Oculus Rift also have relation to Kinetic, Arduino, 3D language and Processing and Programming in language or projection of map software. There are two types of Oculus Rift that create by two different artists and as well as engineers

1.Entropy Wrangler
Artist : Ian Cheng
He debuted his own version of Entropy Wrangler in London.It is chaotic virtual space in which the viewpoint of participant can alter the dynamic of weightless 3D form by generating their own narrative from experience.





2.PaperDude VR
Artist : Globacore
It is a project about utilizing in common bicycle and also an homage to the well known 8 bit video game, Paperboy using the kinetic as main element to control the gesture of people for gameplay. It is built in 3D assets and build in 3D studio and textured in Photoshop.There is also a sensor whereby it can detect the speed and has ability to control resistance.It also has provided a headset with full 360 degrees to let audience to concentrate on the game.

Below are video about the PaperDude VR:

3.City Trip
Artist: Globacore
The people can travel a fantasy and alien city when they ride on the City Trip. The people will feel that they are really inside the environment as they pedaling and steering and they will navigate through virtual reality.People can fly through the air and hit the ramps and use the bicycle bell to jump from the building to another building as well.People can set their own gold or challenge to have fun on it.

Above are the examples Art Hacking project done by the artists as they know that using their own creativity and knowledge to create the amazing and outstanding technology is important than break into other computer system to steal data of other people illegally. To me, the artist and hacker use their expertise to create their own creation are hero!
