Artists / Creative Studio
Hugo Lankinen and Kasper Hildén of TAiKOA create sculptural works from reclaimed technology. Click for Love uses old computer mice collected from around the world, emphasising the global reach of the ILOVEYOU virus.
Inspired by the ILOVEYOU virus, Click for Love reflects the emotional and technological consequences of the infamous malware. The heart-shaped sculpture, crafted from crowdsourced computer mice, invites viewers to contemplate the intersection of love, technology, and vulnerability in the digital age. The virus spread rapidly through email systems in 2000, leaving a lasting impact on digital culture.
