Decolonial Hacker is an intervention into the digital territory of cultural institutions.

The Decolonial Hacker extension activates when a user logs onto targeted websites, freezing them with fragments of a text, artwork, or combination of the two, that analyses certain problematics of that place informed by decolonial politics at large.

The extension overlays commissioned work onto a set of defined websites. It is otherwise inactive. The set of URLs that trigger the extension are updated approximately every 30 minutes in a background script. Decolonial Hacker can be disabled and reactivated by selecting “HIDE/REVEAL” on the extension’s pop-down menu.
