Hellraiser
In the world of computer & Internet we all have, at least once, come across a glitch and a computer virus. I am fascinated by both. I study glitches and I use them to make my art. Malwarez are, like it or not, part of computer history. Their evolution has been wild and huge. From simple programs to challange other programmers and prank early computer network users, they eventually became powerful weapons to cause damages, ransoms, wars. Considered a primitive generation of smart softwarez, before they became dangerous and silent, they were manifesting their presence through edgy graphic art works. Part of my series V1R0L0GY, this work is a celebration of computer failures, computer culture, internet history and the poetic of chaos.
This is Hellraiser virus, the fifth of the series being minted as NFT.
When the Hellraiser virus is run, it will randomly infect an executable file by overwriting the first 1,580 bytes in the file.
Files infected by the virus will no longer function properly and they will actually start to spread the virus.
The virus activates on Friday 25th. When one of the infected programs is run, the virus will unleash its payload and displays a short message with an ASCII art and will make the system hanging.
The message will read "I'll be back...HELLRAISER".
