Description
HACKER CLASS IN VECTOR MODE is an interactive generative sculpture that investigates power dynamics, the circulation of information, and the ecology of decentralized networks. Inspired by the Datapunk manifesto and tactical media, the work visualizes critical thought as a living, rhizomatic structure that pulses, expands, confronts, and retreats.
In each cycle, a central consciousness fragments into vectors of dialogue, transmitting aphorisms that intertwine agroforestry, digital autonomy, and political bodies—a reflective void from which the energy of grassroots movements rebuilds itself.
This is not a static data visualization, but a live transmission of a living system.
Regarding the design, I drew inspiration from reading authors such as Ailton Krenak, Antônio Bispo dos Santos, and McKenzie Wark, as well as from the music of Joy Division.
