Behold,
a video of the Newton Virus. Back in 2005, Troika, the British-based
art collective that was behind the Heathrow Terminal 5 sculpture that
some of you recently described as a "
disco turd,"
created a virus for Macs, called Newton. It came on a little USB key
that looked like a cross between a malevolent Apple and Pac Man and was
aimed at, well, people like you or I, who spend
far too much time fiddling around on their computers. The video, made this year, is part of the
Design and the Elastic Mind show currently running at MoMA in NY. [
