Export Control

Description

Digital Image (PNG), Embedded Encrypted Virus Binary Export Control is a provocative artistic response to digital surveillance, censorship, and oppressive control, embedding encrypted historical computer viruses within striking visual artworks. Petya incorporates the notorious ransomware that emerged in 2016, known for locking entire systems by encrypting critical boot records, symbolizing the fragility and vulnerability of centralized digital infrastructure. By reclaiming Petya as an encrypted and inert artifact, the work challenges narratives of digital control and highlights encryption itself as a critical tool of resistance and autonomy. The embedded virus binary is securely encrypted, inert, and poses no functional risk.
