The Legacy Of Mediocrity - A Hijacked Work Of Art


We've all heard of hackers, though few of us (myself included) understand how they work (that is, if you can call what they do work).

I have been the victim of hacking for almost a year. It is just very difficult for me to publish my books or work on my art when at least part of that art is done on the computer.

This piece was never intended to be an art work, it is the result of hacking. I was working on a digital art piece, when the computer went haywire, and the browser froze.

This is with what I was left. So I took a screenshot of it, and decided to display it as an abstract piece to show two things:

1) That the fruits of mediocrity are as few as the amount of color in this piece.

and 2) That the productive individual manages to invent something positive, even from negative situations.

This work is the very personification of mediocrity. It tells a story, of those who know that they have no talent, nothing productive to give to society, and must therefore vent the frustration that they feel at their own little self-worth, by creating obstacles for those, who despite misfortune, have a purpose in life and wish to give something good back to others.

Let us as creative productive people not be discouraged by the destructive tendencies of those who feel that they have to fill the emptiness in them by causing grief to others.

If interested, you can view my gallery of screenshots and videos (link below), that document the problems that I have had with hacking.

I am starting a "Hacker Series", maybe by selling these "works" I can get some money from the problems that this hacker has caused me.
