About the project:

The work focuses heavily on automation. I’m interested in building systems that can self-manage, produce and archive work on their own. To accomplish this requires a shift away from a traditional studio practice to one that is mostly digital. My practice involves writing custom computer software that either: generates work, or automates a workflow.

This project is working with the automated bots that were caught probing (attacking) my server. The shape, color, and position of each piece is determined by the IP address (a unique identifier given to every computer when accessing the internet) of the attacking bot.

For those interested I'm compiling books on the internet archive.
