Join us on January 26, 5pm ET to celebrate the release of SFPC_Malware_Anthology.zip, a collection of work created during An Artist’s History of Computer Viruses and Malware, an online class at School For Poetic Computation taught by Todd Anderson and Herdimas Anggara. The zip file anthology contains a mix of desktop software and browser extensions that creatively explore malware aesthetics including a little worm that eats files on your desktop, a browser extension that lets you explore the web on foot, a poetic email spambot, and more!
The event will take place in Rhizome’s Discord, and streamed to Twitch. Todd Anderson will introduce some history of malware art and demonstrate how to safely install (and remove) contents within the anthology. We will also be joined by several of the participating artists who will present their projects and discuss some of the ideas and influences behind their work.
