are you that mainframe hacker guy?

This is some pretty nice money laundering

quote:

“The Persistence of Chaos,” as the work is known, was created by Chinese Internet artist Guo O Dong and commissioned by Deep Instinct, a New York-based cybersecurity firm. The company supplied the malware and collaborated with Guo to guard against the kind of real-world damage the project was designed to highlight.

So, some NYC company paid an "artist" to install malware on a laptop that they supplied and consulted on?

Guo first made headlines with his art in 2017, with a piece of performance art involving the artist riding a Segway while walking a hipster on a leash through the streets of Brooklyn.
