Quintessenz (an association for the re-establishment of information civil rights, monochrom's next door neighbour group here in Museumsquartier Vienna) has data mined an extensive mailing list related to the Biometric Consortium, which is part of the NSA. A Quintessenz activist was able to get access to the mailing list through social engineering. He stored all the info and even could download secret data. They are now datamining the NSA list and publishing the list and the results. Link
monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism.
