Ver descrição

Alexandra Ehrlich Speiser has targeted 3D files of weapons which are largely available in the dark web. In her „Useless Weapons Series“ she glitches them through various strategies like inserting pacifist lyrics or sounds in the code, or slightly modifying it, provoking a different interconnection in the structure which harms files’ functionality. A few examples like a „non lethal“ Smith and Wesson handgun, a „Glock 17“ and an AK47 or a Grenade from WWII have been 3D printed. Thus has she materialized her abstract sabotages and their ability to affect the same ethereal nature of the file, and in turn of the dangerous and threatening original. www.useless-weapons.com
