If you walked into an electronics store and asked to borrow thirty VCRs and thirty TVs, you probably wouldn't get too far. But thirty old computers? What would've been fifty thousand dollars' worth of hardware ten years ago becomes junk we can cart off to an art gallery for a week (facing the street through plate-glass windows, no less).
In keeping with the theme of obsolescence, artist Paul Weiser and I carved out thirty tiny video clips from the 1976 Burt Reynolds vehicle Gator. Using this simple program, we made bootable floppy disks that could play the clips on just about any old PC. Scattering the computers all around the space, it really did look like some kind of infestation.
