Artist Paul Destieu created a common Windows error that using 500 copies of his “My Favourite Landscape” print.
"My Favourite Landscape is made of 500 70 x 50 cm offset prints. It is a reappropriation of the well known Windows XP desktop : Green Hill. Taking advantage of the weakness of the computer, it sets the common bug out of its context, on a wall, expending it to a much bigger scale. The famous picture finds a new landscape shape out of its usual frame.
"

I had the experience of that awfull desktopimage multiplying itself on my desktop until my computer was totally crashed and I really think it’s much more beautiful on a wall in gallery then on my desktop! I see more and more anti-pc artworks comming up, I guess it will be a hard year for microsoft!
