Abstract

Vectoral power is characterised by the topological creation of a ‘third nature’: A reterritorialisation that is directly correlated to the trajectory assumed by the vector. However, the vector has not predictable destinations nor it cares about its qualities or meanings.
Digital hijacking emerged as a coupling of aesthetics and hacking practices on early web search engines, diverting internet traffic towards unexpected contents. Similarly, in times of high speed financial trading, informational flows have been distorted to exploit contemporary processes of capital accumulation.
Therefore, ‘vectoral hijacking’ is suggested as a hacktion able to redirect the virtualities of the vector in direction of territories that have yet to be known.
