By any media necessary. “Disturbances” by Critical Art Ensemble

Alessandro Delfanti
Art, technology and activism explored by any media necessary. I am aware of few art projects that have undertaken a long, deep and challenging path through these three topics with an energy comparable to Critical Art Ensemble's (CAE).
