ILOVEYOU #0

Export Control explores digital sovereignty, surveillance, and resistance by embedding encrypted historical computer viruses within visually striking PNG artworks. ILOVEYOU incorporates the notorious "ILOVEYOU" virus, which spread rapidly in 2000 as a destructive email worm disguised as a love letter. By securely encapsulating and neutralizing the virus code within contemporary digital art, Amadon transforms a once-destructive tool into a provocative meditation on information control, vulnerability, and the unseen threats embedded in everyday digital communication. The embedded virus binary is securely encrypted, inert, and poses no functional risk.
