Art

Artist
Rosa Menkman; Cory Arcangel
Work
Glitch Studies Manifesto; Super Mario Clouds
Year
2010; 2002

Menkman turned image errors into an art form and wrote its manifesto. Arcangel rewired a Mario cartridge until only the clouds remained.

Code

vulnerability

A vulnerability is the same kind of error, used by someone. In 2014 the Heartbleed bug in OpenSSL let attackers read server memory worldwide.

Action

Install updates the day they arrive.

Ставьте обновления в тот же день, когда они пришли.

The label in the room

The same hash is printed at the foot of the label. If they match, nobody changed the text.

Artists turn errors into art. Attackers turn them into lock picks: in 2014 Heartbleed opened server memory. Install updates the day they arrive.

Художники делают из сбоев искусство. Хакеры делают из сбоев отмычки: так ошибка Heartbleed в 2014 году открыла память серверов. Ставьте обновления в тот же день, когда они пришли.

SHA-256 of the Russian label text 226d83efed9f0fee178ddaecf7d7124b520569bfe6bc6cfd86569ddcc4cb42b5
