Research on Eva & Franco Mattes

So Eva and Franco Mattes are Italian-born "artists" born in 1976. They fit into the digital/ hacktivism category due to the fact they are known for manipulating video games, internet technologies, and feature films.  They were known to play pranks and outrage the community with acts such as this:

This sign was placed on a building in september 2006, in Viterbo, Italy.

Another little scheme they concocted was putting up flyers and billboard pictures all over of an upcoming movie called United We Stand in 2005.......

Which did not even truly exist..

They also created some portraits in the game SecondLife that we discussed in class a few times like these
