<17> Critical Art Ensemble

Critical Art Ensemble (CAE) is a collective of five tactical media practitioners of various specializations including computer graphics, film/video, photography, text art, book art, and performance. Formed in 1987, CAE's focus has been on the exploration of the intersections between art, critical theory, technology, and political activism. The collective has performed and produced projects for an international audience, and has written three books: _The Electronic Disturbance_, and its companion text, _Electronic Civil Disobedience and Other Unpopular Ideas_, and _Flesh Machine: Cyborgs, Designer Babies, and New Eugenic Consciousness_.
