FUCK YOU COOKIE

Net Art (2009)

Each website installes cookies on the computer of the web user. They cavort with hundreds on all computers, usually without being aware of the owners about it. It is easy to generate such a cookie and place him unnoticed. Therefore we have programmed a site reserved solely for this purpose. The value of our cookies, as also the name, is set to “FUCK YOU”. This “FUCK YOU” does not only apply to the user, it also applies to the cookie itself. That makes the FUCK YOU Cookie pay homage to all the data, which may inadvertently end up on computers.

We have moved the “FUCK YOU” Cookie in the real world, to figure out how the recipient of such cookies respond. Through a subtle invasion of privacy, the symbolic placement of a cookie in a strange case, the recipients were inadvertently exposed to our will.

We wish to express how dichotomous the virtual and the real world are linked. We want to re-explore their relationship to each other. We project the parallels of the two worlds.
