The exhibition on computer viruses (currently at Brown University in the USA till 4th October) is coming to Post & Tele Museum in Copenhagen in early October. “I love you [rev.eng]” analizes the destructive elements of computer virus, but also their political, cultural, technical and historical elements.

“In the zoo” lets visitors activate infected data with viruses like “Sasser” or “Suicide” and force computers to close down; a 3D game allows people to experience in real time a global virus outbreak; visitors can also click together their own viruses using a virus construction kits; see “biennale.py“, a virus by 0100101110101101.ORG and epidemiC, which has been declared as a social work of art; or “The Lovers” by Sneha Solankis, two networked machines, one infected with a virus, slowly infecting the other through the interface of classic romantic poetry.

+ see films by hackers on their subculture, learn about programming languages as the material for contemporary poetry, etc.

This work in progress-exhibition was developed by the Frankfurt-based digitalcraft.org Kulturbüro.
