  • The data isn’t accessable. The device is listed for sale (including the HDD with data: I’d guess SSNs because it is not illegal to possess another persons SSN, only to fraudulently use it and to sell it etc). If someone managed to buy it (in one of the brief, sporadic windows we can expect it to be for sale) the artist would still have to physically send the device to them before the data was actually in their possession, but by pressing the button you are participating in the operation of an illegal marketplace.

    It’s good art. And it’s a good illustration of why minimum sentencing is a bad idea.
