The Persistence of Chaos
The Persistence of Chaos is an art object in the form of a virus-infected laptop by the Chinese artist Guo O Dong.
Description and reception
The technical basis was a Samsung NC10 netbook from 2008. This computer is equipped with the Windows XP operating system and was deliberately infected with the biggest viruses and malware in the computer's history.[1]
The laptop was marketed through the artist's own website and was auctioned off as a work of art for $1,345,000[2] This led to worldwide media coverage.[3][4][5]
