Abstract
This conceptual article discusses Virtual Political Activism & Virtual Cultural Activism; comparing and contrasting the two down each column of the article. The author defines Virtual Political Activism as objective based, action driven, and community oriented. Virtual Cultural Activism is described as dialogue based, ego driven, and unconcerned about measurable results. The author suggests that art can be a powerful tool; using nonviolent acts of civil disobedience. For instance, virtual activities can target corporate and government networks to counteract political injustice. The articles closes with a discussion about ways politics can become art and ways art can become politics, both equal and opposite of each other.
