One card, from the deck of "The Leak" showing a futuristic coffee machine looking stangely like a hourglass. The title is "Sleepless Nights" and it's an infrastructure card of level 2, offering +1 capacity of action. (it can be sacrificed anytime for a boost of +3 capacity of action until the end of next turn) Description of the card reads: "the team is overwhelmed with work, reviewing, authenticating, researching and publishing the material... while dealing with media partners and the ongoing legal cases. Lots of cafeine and an otherwise unhealthy lifestyle..."
A showcase of cards for the upcoming game WEKILL//LEAKS, showing in that order: - "Swarming volunteers" (level 1 of capacity of action) - "Using codes" (level 2) - "A source in industry" (level 3) - "Legislative activism" (level 3) - "Unfortunate massacre" (a release, level 5) - "Top lawyer" (level 6) - "Spying on the World leaders" (release, level 7) - "Presidential sh1tf#ckery" (release level 8) The illustrations on each cards are of different styles ranging from abstract to black and white photography, to illustration, to glitch art.

The Institute for Dissent and Datalove is a loose collective comprised of hackers, artists, activists and tinkerers. It overlaps with networks of solidarities involved in active defense of free speech and free/libre technologies, technology critics and political interventions.

The Institute for Dissent and Datalove has so far mostly been used for operations of de/re-contextualization of large datasets, de-formatting of formats and playful use of liberating algorithms.

It tries to criticize and deconstruct itself, while remaining grounded in uncompromising collective practices of autonomy and solidarity.

We even have a website: https://dissent-and-datalove.institute/
