Description

D.I.Y.W.I.K.I. is an open-source website detailing the artist’s methods of media intervention and hacking. Cory Arcangel creates a virtual user’s manual that details the process by which he has built previous works, including the manipulation of video games. D.I.Y.W.I.K.I. embodies the ethic of openness and generosity that exists within the closed field of hackers, home hobby programmers and new media artists, and posits it as its own art project, with Arcangel’s satiric, self-deprecating voice as a guide.
