Alex Galloway
American
American artist, programmer and media theorist, and founder in 2000 of RSG (Radical Software Group). The group took its name from the Raindance collective's 1970s video magazine Radical Software. His Carnivore (2001–) is an open-source counterpart to the FBI's DCS1000 "Carnivore" wiretap. A packet-sniffing server streams network traffic, and artist-made clients turn it into images. RSG-CPE0C-1 (2001), the first Carnivore client, prints the intercepted packets to the screen.
