Video Hacking, manipulation of the contents of the small screen.

Hacking video is a short film dating back to '99 by Manuel Saiz, a fictional documentary, in which an activist of video art is a self-proclaimed 'video hacker', and manipulates movies rented in a video shop, proclaiming the importance of chaos and l ' uselessness of copyright. In addition to defining the video shop as 'large-scale information servers' security is limited, you can learn step by step the manipulation of a few frames of the final scenes of 'North by Northwest' by Alfred Hitchcock. Aside from the hilarious irony against the hacker slang, the video really sets the stage for a truly destabilizing practice, namely that of the independent and creative manipulation of content passing through the small screen. Although fictionalized here and do not actually own legal, recombination of television content (blob docet) arrests the inevitability of the flow and allows a re-appropriation of the contents, finally deconstructible. The time component is not indifferent, indeed, and just the chance to act on known objects (the hit movie) and then redistribute without checking the contents varied sheds new light on inammovibile sequential narrative of the screen at home.
