Evading punitive account deactivations through shared identity techniques.
Historically, sabotage was a tactic used by industrial workers to disrupt the machinery of exploitation. The ASRG translates this concept into the 21st century, arguing that today’s machinery is composed of data points, predictive models, and opaque decision-making software. By studying how these systems fail, and how they can be made to fail, the group seeks to provide a toolkit for those marginalized by the "black box" of modern technology. algorithmic sabotage research group %28asrg%29
The group utilizes independent media and zines, leveraging open source software platforms like GitHub to collaborate on and distribute these theories internationally. 3. Tactical Repertoire: Poisoning, Tarpits, and Noise By studying how these systems fail, and how
Synchronized non-compliance or coordinated manipulation of platform inputs. Tactical Repertoire: Poisoning
An aesthetic exploration of algorithmic resistance designed using alternative layout systems. Context and Influence
The is an ongoing, conspiratorial, aesthetico-political, practice-led research framework operating at the intersection of digital culture, critical theory, and information technology. Emerging as a radical response to unchecked technosolutionism, algorithmic authoritarianism, and structural injustices embedded in automated data systems, ASRG reframes modern machine learning and generative artificial intelligence (AI) not as tools for inevitable social progress, but as corporate battlegrounds. Through the dissemination of texts like the Manifesto on Algorithmic Sabotage and collaborative conceptual papers, the collective establishes "creative misuse" and systemic disruption as valid, necessary expressions of human agency against commercial exploitation.
