Nuclear explosion - Art group hacks Czech TV

June 17, Czech artistic group ZTOHOVEN (a pun meaning „out of it“ when read or hundred shits spoken) interfered on Czech TV broadcast.

 

hack czech TV

Members of ZTOHOVEN connected up to one of the stationary camera during TV weathercast and in real time broadcast their own shots, which showed nuclear explosion. Then the picture changed. Instead of the name of the locality (Black Mine) the website reference ZTOHOVEN.com came up on the screen.

The idea of faked broadcast comes in fact already from 2003. The idea was perhaps revetalised by the actual situation where Czech republic is trying to solve the problem of the building of the american radar on its territory.
