Exhibition Text

Cyber-attacks have become an everyday occurrence, with several high-profile hacks targeting the private information of millions of Australians. Yet the ‘space’ of cyberspace is difficult for the public to understand. Metaphors such as ‘the cloud’ obscure the massive infrastructure, physicality and materiality of the digital systems we all rely on. Cybercrime itself, whilst often devastating for victims, often operates in extraordinarily banal ways – a text message, an email, a phone call.

This artwork develops a new visual and spatial language to understand cyber security through passwords, cyber attack data and biometrics, displayed on a large LED wall at Kambri, ANU.

Sullivan+Strumpf acknowledge the Indigenous People of this land, the traditional custodians on whose Country we work, live and learn. We pay respect to Elders, past and present, and recognise their continued connection to culture, land, waters and community.
