I am reminded of hacker, Saar Drimmer’s work [1]. Like Blake, he was subject to a fair bit of censorship and “blind-eyeing” by the dominant institutions of his day when his work demonstrated chip-and-pin credit card authorization was hopelessly broken [2]. But also like Blake, he turned to reinventing the lithographic machinery of the period to create new mediums for expression. Blake with his printing press, Saar with his PCBmodE circuit etching software - creating circuit boards which were published in the haute couture press[3]. And both using in effect the same medium of etched copper plate.
