Founded in 2000 the Radical Software Group (RSG) is a collective of programmers and artists selected from cities around the world. Continually in flux, RSG members are selected according to their unique area of expertise. The New York Times recently described their work as "conceptually sharp, visually compelling and completely attuned to the political moment." RSG is author of the data surveillance system Carnivore, and a 2002 Golden Nica winner at the Prix Ars Electronica.
