With Ronald Sukenick and Mark Amerika, Thacker helped establish Alt-X Press, for which he edited the anthology Hard Code.
Published by the Alt-X Press, which was founded by Ulmer's former student turned internationally acclaimed artist and writer Mark Amerika, the ebook is said to have finally fulfilled the long-promised potential of online publishing to use stimulating visual arrangement, media hybridization, and typographical ingenuity to blur the distinction between publication, exhibition, and design performance, which further brings to mind Ulmer's own self-consciously titled book "Internet Invention."
Amerika has been named a "Time Magazine 100 Innovator," and his digital artwork has been shown at museums around the world, including five major retrospectives, one each at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, the Media Arts Plaza in Tokyo, Ciberart Bilbao, FILE (Electronic Language International Festival) in São Paulo, and most recently the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens.

He has received art commissions from venues such as the Walker Art Center, the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, IBM, Sony PlayStation, and the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts in Tokyo.
