Summary/Abstract: The text focuses on the specific phenomenon of digital rebellion. The authors present a description of the activities of the Krakow artistic and publishing group Rozdzielczość Chleba. Its members represent an attitude which they call (in an interview that follows the article) ‘cyberhooliganism'. Their activity began with a manifesto in which they announced a cultural revolution (2011). It was to be based on a reformulation of the aesthetic and economic foundations for the existence of art (especially literature). As the group has developed, its attitude has evolved in the direction of a withdrawal from and refusal to participate in the culture industry. In describing the activities of Rozdzielczość, the authors of the article refer to the theories of K. Goldsmith (uncreative writing) and P. Bourdieu (the rules of art).
