In this presentation Angelo Vermeulen talks about the latest developments in his ongoing 'Corrupted C#n#m#' project. 'Corrupted C#n#m#' is an amorphous, process-oriented art project which explores new and old media through biological and digital experimentation. Essentially, the project debunks the myth of the immateriality of digital media. For the Canvascollectie exhibit Vermeulen teamed up with jewelry designer Walter Bresseleers to create data-corrupting cybercockroaches. The armor of these hybrid creatures contains electronics that can disrupt digital data streams.
