![]() RIDDLE SCHOOL GAME GLITCH YOUTUBE OFFLINEThis is an edited collection of assembled and annotated video essays living in two instantiations: an online version – located on the web at, and an offline version – stored on a server inside a VHS (Video Home System) case.

This military elite which, to the eyes of the Western powers is trying to establish a constitutional democracy, is in fact attempting to perpetuate itself in power via the control of: the web 2.0, 3.0, cellular networked technologies such as 3G and 4G, social media such as Facebook or Instagram, You Tube, Vimeo, the press and the mass media imprisoning and in some cases murdering activists, lawyers and intellectuals which use these mediums as means to denounce basic violations of human rights. Since 2019 the country has been undergoing a social and political revolution, similar to the Arab Springs of 2011, which seeks to overthrow a long lasting “fachade democracy” and authoritarian military currently in power via a coup d’etat. This manuscript introduces the reader to the unique case study of Algeria.
