Conglomco Media Network

The Conglomco Media Network (CMN) is a collective of computer artists, programmers, and cultural producers, working in the tradition of the hacker, members lend their expertise to collectively throw a wrench in the gears of the corporate machine. CMN is both expansive and expanding, with members strategically scattered throughout the US, UK, and the EU. CMN's tactical bent against the infiltration of public space by major corporations is the brandishing of a gratuitous display of technology in subversive actions, exploiting said technologies shortcomings while simultaneously putting these shortcomings on display for public critique. Conglomco adopts the media facade of a patriarchal corporation, satirizing a corporate/capitalist pastiche of homogenized culture, financially motivated politics, and monetary greed. Utilizing the expanding potentials for copying, appropriating, sampling, and synthesizing provided by the internet, CMN seeks to create projects that explore the possibilities of social commentary and creative activism in a networked and techno-savvy environment.
