Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group %28asrg%29 -

Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group (ASRG) is a "conspiratorial, aesthetico-political, practice-led research framework" that explores the intersection of digital culture and information technology.

They prioritize creative misuse and artistic interventions to attack the underlying conceptual frameworks of AI development. Mutual Aid and Solidarity:

To the port’s AI, this vessel did not exist in any training scenario. It was too slow to be a threat, too erratic to be commercial, yet too persistent to be ignored. Within 45 minutes, the AI’s scheduling algorithm entered a recursive loop, attempting to reassign the phantom vessel to a berth 47,000 times per second. The system crashed. Manual override took over. The smaller ships docked. Two days later, the port authority reverted to a hybrid human-AI system. algorithmic sabotage research group %28asrg%29

The group positions itself against the deterministic view that algorithms are neutral or inevitable. Instead, they argue that if algorithms govern society, citizens must have the right to audit, question, and—when necessary—disrupt them.

The Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group (ASRG) is an ongoing, aesthetico-political research framework that explores the intersection of digital culture and information technology. Describing itself as "conspiratorial," the group advocates for "techno-disobedience" against what it calls the "algorithmic empire"—systems of control that reinforce structural injustice and profit-driven optimization. 🛠️ Radical Techno-Politics: The ASRG Manifesto It was too slow to be a threat,

In 2024, the ASRG published its Manifesto on Algorithmic Sabotage, a collaborative document outlining ten core statements (numbered 0 to 9) that define its mission:

For organizations and policymakers:

: Their story is told through experiments—like scrambling images for static sites to evade algorithmic sorting—and collaborative writing that invites anyone to contribute to the theory of destruction. Refusal of Segregation
