Greed powers our economy through restrictive licensing deals and claims of copyright. What enables this demand is the ability to control access or demand incentives as compensation for their work. The Internet, built without these restrictions, is being threatened to include protections for licensed and copyrighted content. G.R.E.E.D. (Glom & Restrict Entities on Existing Domains) demonstrates how a web user’s browsing experience and anonymity can be threatened through restrictions, take-downs, censorship, and monetary blackmail if such license and copyright restrictions are imposed on the Internet. >> Try It Now <<For Chrome, Firefox, and Safari Part of the C.R.E.A.M. exhibition at Art Micro Patronage.

Mittens Romney – Browser Extension
http://fffff.at/mittens-romney-extension/
This a browser extension which turns all instances of Mitt Romney to Mittens Romney on web pages. ( Mitt is short for Mittens!!!! ) I’m convinced that nobody in the US would accept having a president named Mittens, so I am releasing a tool to highlight his real ( and rather cute ) name. Screen shot of the installed extension:
A huffington post article made that bit more silly:
An example google search (before & after installing Mittens):
Install Mittens: What are you waiting for? Get Mittens Now! Click to install Mittens Chrome Extension
Download and Install Mittens Safari Extension ( then double click to install ) Click to install Mittens Firefox Extension Note: Firefox version was automatically made with this tool and isn’t working on google search results. Working on getting it working 100%. You can grab the code or contribute to the project on github: https://github.com/ofTheo/mittens/ Credits: Made by Theo Watson. Thanks to Greg Leuch for Shaved Biever which the Chrome version is based off of. Icon is from the header from this cat heavy Mittens Romney site.

China Web Boycott (China Blocker Browser Extension)
The notorious artist Ai Weiwei has been detained by Chinese authorities with very little known information about his status and wellbeing*. He has been detained for many days, upsetting many in the art world for the treatment of an expressive artist in a country where outspoken expression is largely oppressed. We, as artists and art viewers, should not let this happen. Protest the Chinese detention of Ai Weiwei. Boycott! Protest! Block Chinese sites until Ai Weiwei is released by preventing yourself from surfing into Chinese web territories. Download Now!Available for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari browsers. Download the China Web Boycott extension for your browser and boycott Chinese websites whenever artists, like Ai Weiwei, are detained without explanation or justification. Be alerted when he is released, as well as when other artists are detained in China, and boycott Chinese web sites only when artists are being held in detention! China Blocker concept and code by Greg Leuch (@gleuch).

Ctrl+F’d, censoring the interwebs
http://fffff.at/ctrlfd-censoring-the-interwebs/
With recent mistakes by companies and organizations not knowing how to properly censor online documents, its easy to see why people believe the text they can’t see can’t be read. And with computer illiterate people like Rush Limbaugh, it is easy to befuddle them with the apperance of censored text on the web pages they commonly visit. A playful experiment in “censoring” a web page by hiding text and images behind blocks.
Try it out on your fffffavorite web pages. Grab the bookmarklet below and drag into the bookmarklet bar (or right-click as ‘Bookmark/Favorite this Link’). Ctrl+F’d Bookmarket Or mess with your ffffffriends. Download the Firefox extension, install into GreaseMonkey, or add the JavaScript code and code to your site. Open-sourced by Greg Leuch. Available on GitHub.
