What if a piece of art is defined by the artistic gesture? Can we still create art when we lost privacy?
What happen in an artist can’t decide when and with whom to share? Where and who decides when it isn’t a draft?

This picture is a steganography: it contains a hidden the message that justifies and explain the picture.

Each have two versions/prices:

• the signed print( canvas 120X80)
• with the digital orginal that has the message steganographed and the password needed to decypher it.

What is the price of a piece without its meaning? What if the artist wants to keep it private?
What is your price of lost privacy?

Elliptic curves are a mathematical functions used in cryptography for encryption and digital signatures.

This is a visual representation of the elliptic curve y^3= x^3+2207*x^2+x over a finite field P=3571.

That formula (with different constants) is already used for real world encryption (Curve25519).

This creation uses a new set of two prime numbers 2207 and 3571. I chose them because their ratio is a good approximation of the golden ration.

TODO NOTE

Clarify what is the piece: the formula, the code to generate the painting, the canvas
I claim copyright on that formula with these constants (I know, silly ;)

This is a post from Snowden, framed and surmounted by a security camera. the image of the post has been replaced by a mirror.

When you post on facebook, with whom do you think you share? With your friends, spies, facebook, facebook’s advertisers…

How much can they know about you? Some studies have found that by analysing your friends, we can almost certainely guess your sexual preferences, by your posts your political preferences…

This is virtual, this is online, this is hardware.

The PI has two functions: collect all probes for networks (name of known wifi networks by the visitors)
A bluetooth beacon that broadcast the url of a page that has a dataviz of these networks over the period of the exhibition

¡Hasta siempre, Comandante!

El conocimiento nos hace responsables
“Nuestro sacrificio es consciente; cuota para pagar la libertad que construimos.”
Silence is argument carried out by other means.

“No soy un libertador. Los libertadores no existen. Son los pueblos quienes se liberan a si mismos.”
I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.
