net campeones
Cyber-Wrestling
In net campeones--by Antonio Mendoza, Arcangel Constantini, and Lele Luchetti, in collaboration with Andy Forbes--two web artists (net.legends) will face-off in a boxing ring to hack a web page live. The resulting changes will be seen by the public on a screen and by web-surfers on the net.
The artists will duel – using images, sounds, flash, HTML and javascript – for three hours assembling and disassembling the work and coding of their opponent. The cyber-wrestling match will be held in a boxing ring surrounded by three projections that will simultaneously display the hacked page and the desktops of the two competitors. An announcer will comment live as the battle develops. On the web you will be able to see the state of the page being hacked; listen to the music or sounds produced by both artists; listen and see the announcer and the duelist, and vote for the competitors. The winner will be decided through a combination of public voting and a committee of previously chosen jurors.
