Wiktoria Cukt 2.0 was created as a reactivation of the idea from the year 2000, when the artistic group C.U.K.T. – the Central Office of Technical Culture – developed a virtual candidate for the office of President of the Republic of Poland. This project – The Presidential Campaign of Wiktoria Cukt (2000) – was a manifesto of political avant-garde, combining rave culture, the Internet, public space actions and anti-parliamentary activism under the slogan: “Politicians are unnecessary.”
