REMOVAL OF GALLERY




0. removal of gallery through a take over of its physical space [_0] and web attack

1. attacks: trivial attack such as DoS through SQLInjection. killing of msql base and server query posed appropriate number of times [666] results in a crash and subsequently white gallery sites with a report "the connection could not be established" [_1]

2. open code and self-replication: part of the action was to send the code and formula for attack to several mailing lists, therefore the status of this artwork has an open character [_2],
access to the project was democratized.
the artwork and the whole project is out of one person's and one institution's control,
it can be repeated in different galleries numerous times ,
[through modifying the query and the goal of attack],
which means that similar attacks on other galleries can be expected [>>> EXECUTE ME]

3. self-reference [self-destruction] of the gallery: the attack was launched from the IP of the gallery
which was the target of the attack. therefore it was the gallery that annihilated itself[_3]

4. infinite white: white represents a multidimensional space, as abstract as possible and at the same time the process of burning and clearing the art
[_4].the projects starts from recurrence but suggests an infinite process

5. zero metaphors: the project is an attempt of radical redefinition of what an art object is and of human/human and human/object relations,
it is not only a conceptual project but also a fact that occurred in physical, internet and social space[_5]

6. reconfiguration of power relation: on a different dimension the project is an attempt of overtaking the whole gallery within a set time frame, which also means of abolishing the existing control systems and power [_6]
