We learned about 'open source' lecture. Then, let's see outline of today. *what is "resistance" in digital media? *models of politics - open-source software and virus.
First, what is "resistance"? It is tactics and means to oppose the strategies of "The Prince". and countering the techniques and "technologies of power" that impose isolation, distraction and domination through surveillance, entertainment and force. For example, virus, trojan horse, worm, bomb etc.
Second, what is a software virus? A cracker program that searches out other programs and 'infects' them by embedding a copy of itself in them. The virus may do nothing but propagate itself and then allow the program to run normally.
Then, what is a software "trojan horse"? A program designed to break security or damage a system that is disguised as something else benign. And what is "worm"? A pro gram that propagates itself over a network, reproducing itself as it goes. And what is a software "bomb"? to perform some destructive or security-compromising activity whenever specified conditions are met. And what is a "back door"? A hole in the security of a system deliberately left in place by designers or maintainers.
Then, do artifacts have politics? more democratic by being made more "free" or "open"? or the reconstruction of foundational tools or infrastructural "architectural" elements. Lecture of today also finished well. This lectures have got many help. It is very interesting.
