– Gauguet, Bertrand; Etoy: community hacktivism and art. Parachute: Contemporary Art Magazine, 2004
CONCLUSION
Hacktivism art only can attract the attention of the media through the simulacrum and creation of Virtual Superhero. The only way that Hacktivism can be an instrument of a social change is through the interconnection between activist, artist, writers, theorist, and organizers through the media to the people At the same time, in postmodernism the Hacktivism has been absorbed into the institution...

And, is their symbolic fight an effective activist action? In other words, Can Hacktivism art be an instrument of social change? Maybe, the main problem in Hacktivism is the possibility of effectiveness, whether this movement really makes...
