In the world of computers & the Internet, we all have, at least once, come across a glitch and a computer virus. I am fascinated by both. I study glitches and I use them to make my art. Malwarez are, like it or not, part of computer history. Their evolution has been wild and huge. From simple programs to challenge other programmers and prank early computer network users, they eventually became powerful weapons to cause damages, ransoms, wars. Considered a primitive generation of smart softwarez, before they became dangerous and silent, they were manifesting their presence through edgy graphic artworks. Part of my series V1R0L0GY, this work is a celebration of computer failures, computer culture, internet history, and the poetic of chaos.
About the virus: Virus.DOS.Leprosy.Skism.1992 or Skism is a dangerous encrypted overwriting virus that runs on MS-DOS. Created by Phalcom/Skism in 1992 in the United States of America, this virus has three variants:
There are 3 variants:
Virus.DOS.Leprosy.Skism.554 Virus.DOS.Leprosy.Skism.1992 Virus.DOS.Leprosy.Skism.x
When the virus is run, it will randomly overwrite a DOS executable file. This function doesn't work every time it is executed so eventually more than once this function must be triggered in order to infect one file. Infected files will not properly work anymore and they will start spreading the virus instead.
On Friday 25th of any month when running an infected program the virus will display an ASCII picture with these messages:
The man who brought you 622, Skism One, Caption Trips, and Sub-Zero now shanks you again, with his latest...
Skism 1992 - Virus!!!! Get a late pass!
When this will be over it will then hang the system.
If the virus has also infected the COMMAND.COM, every time the system boots up on this day it will result in displaying this screen.
