Corrupt Media, Corrupt Data is constructed out of business card CD-Rs that were meant to be part of an edition of 100 for a commissioned work. After 53% of the edition failed to duplicate properly, this stack of CD-Rs containing corrupted data lost its functional value. It then became a work in itself exemplary of a media chosen for its aesthetic value rather than its reliability. Corrupt Media, Corrupt Data explores the place of sound art in the marketplace and the point at which a work is given its worth.
