This dissertation explores civic hacking as a new approach of activism. I examine how a Taiwan- based hacker collective, g0v, intervenes and subverts bureaucratic government through the technological translations of openness (kaifun). Replacing the letter "o" in "government" with the number "0" to indicate the computer binary zero and one, the name "g0v" signifies both their netizen identity and the grassroots, bottom-up approach of activism. They dispute the long- standing practice of guanxi - interpersonal relations established upon informal and often backdoor gift exchange - in Taiwan's post-authoritarian politics, and endeavor to translate the idea of openness from technologies into a set of ethical codes and political practices. There are two targets of g0v's hacks: One is that they hack the government by repurposing government data to promote transparency and participation. The other is that they hack governance by forming themselves as a distributed network that resists representation and hierarchy. These two ways of hacks are two sides of the same coin, reinforcing each other as g0v evolves. However, as the idea of openness is becoming mainstream, tension and conflicts emerge over the institutionalization of openness. In this dissertation, I show how g0v hackers play with the equivocation of openness to perform the best hacks. Civic hacking is never a set method or ideology. It is a parasitic activity that constantly negotiates with the changing political realities it aims to subvert.
