SCREAM (2005)

Scream is artistic software for the Windows desktop that responds to human screaming; it addresses the absence of human frustration and dysfunctionality within the cultural realm addressed by software, as well as the apparent loss of fashionability of emotional or disruptive public expression. The scream software can be downloaded by the members of the public; along with the downloadable software, the project website is part of the project. The website further challenges the territory of software and digital art, by semi-ironically presenting Scream in the context of a street art meme; i.e. in the tradition of street art works such as Shepard Fairey's Obey Giant.

CUEJACK (2001)

Under "hacktivist" pseudonym "Cue P. Doll."
(Solo project distributed through art/activist site RTMark.)

The :CueCat scanner was created and distributed free to simplify the problem of looking up information about products on the web: simply scan your product's UPC code, and you're taken to advertisements at the company's website.

CueJack is a software art project that lets users scan a product with a :CueCat scanner, then displays a web page with "alternative information" about the product's company: boycotts, company misbehavior, product flaws, etc.
