This is the “Noise vs. Subversive Computing” Project: A collaborative release split between Noise Artists and Computer Hackers. Ten representatives from each camp were asked to contribute a piece of work without any limitation, as long as the result can be represented in binary. The Noise artists had “Subversive Computing” as their central theme, and the hackers worked with “Noise”.
This is the outcome:

The merger is fascinating. The radical thinkers at work in here have the momentum, the mindset and the technical skills to crash Adaptive Firewalls, defy traditional definitions of music, “hack” live performance semantics and bypass Intrusion Detection Systems.
Only this is not Cyberspace. We are subtly injecting polymorphic shellcode into your reality, brainwashing you with white noise and reverse engineering your obsolete modus operandi.
Alas; you can’t pull the plug.
