His activities are radical and often described as illegal ‘hacktivist’ interventions, whose aim is taking over and using surveillance devices against the will of their creators.

PORNEA

'Pornea' is a deeply symbolic pornographic movie aimed at evoking both sexual excitement and mystic experience, as well as aesthetic experience. Due to its allusive and fully computer-generated form, the project falls beyond the scope of contemporary censorship mechanisms.
The Pornea project includes materials subliminally stimulating the recipient (content active both by means of sound and view).
