Decolonial Hacker critically examines institutions, their alliances, interests, and behaviour. Decolonial Hacker operates through a web browser extension that ‘hacks’ institutional URLs with commissioned criticism, and an online platform that archives these texts. The extension activates when a user logs onto an institution’s website, dissolving their webpage to reveal an article that analyses certain problematics of that place informed by decolonial politics at large – for instance, pillaged colonial objects, funding sources and labour conditions.
Decolonial Hacker is edited by Eugene Yiu Nam Cheung, winner of the International Awards for Art Criticism which is run by AICA (The International Association of Art Critics), and a reviewer for Third Text Online. Decolonial Hacker is available at www.decolonialhacker.org/
