The Conglomco Media Network (CMN) is a collective of computer artists, programmers, and cultural producers, working in the tradition of the hacker, members lend their expertise to collectively throw a wrench in the gears of the corporate machine. CMN is both expansive and expanding, with members strategically scattered throughout the US, UK, and the EU. CMN's tactical bent against the infiltration of public space by major corporations is the brandishing of a gratuitous display of technology in subversive actions, exploiting said technologies shortcomings while simultaneously putting these shortcomings on display for public critique. Conglomco adopts the media facade of a patriarchal corporation, satirizing a corporate/capitalist pastiche of homogenized culture, financially motivated politics, and monetary greed.

META[CC] attempts to take the flood of data from the mainstream news media and rework it into a political commentary. Asking us to reconsider the information we have found ways to channel through such media streaming tools as RSS feeds. To be a part of the META[CC] process/project the user selects key words and submits RSS feeds to its database. Using the keywords, it parses through the feeds and then creates sentences for its closed caption video channeling system. The video feeds are from live broadcasts of current news events. When the newly added META[CC] captions are overlaid on these, they take on a new meaning. META[CC] re-appropriates the news broadcast and reveals its meaning in relation to the news data it is a part of.
