Does Cloud Compute (ever) Precipitate Events

The Phreaking Collective is a London-based group of emerging computational artists working across code, sculpture, sound, installation, and digital media. Formed in 2025, the collective takes its name from phreaking, a term initially used to describe the subversive practice of hacking telephone systems in the 1960s and 70s. Drawing from this lineage of creative mischief and network disruption, the Phreaking Collective reclaims the term as a gesture toward experimentation, resistance, and intimacy within digital systems.
