The Pirate Radio Experiment

How it worked

We transformed a van into a mobile pirate radio station and installed broadcasting equipment. This allowed us to hack into the frequencies of Berlins's five most popular radio stations. We interrupted the program of nearby drivers with a fake newsflash – and made them think they were the subject of a police manhunt by describing their very own characteristics: for example their clothing, hair, car license plate, location etc. 

To involve even more people we targeted them not only in their cars, but also in many more places all over the city.
After giving our victims a brief scare, we approached them and revealed our cause: "This is what it feels like to be innocently persecuted. All over the world countless people are facing this injustice. Support International Society for Human Rights in the fight against oppression – on ishr.org."
