Wired Instability

Wired Instability is a captivating work that depicts an anarchist cyberpunk hacker, a figure both stylish and fearsome. Constantly hyper-connected, she is always hacking, immersed in computer networks and security systems. Her gaze is cold and determined, but certain details reveal the inner tension that inhabits her.

His hair, like living cables, animates in an almost organic way, and lines of code emanate from his skull, emphasizing his state of perpetual connection. These lines of code are not simply data: they evoke a threat of annihilation, an echo of his destructive capacity. There are references here to universes such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Mr Robot, emphasizing the intensity and complexity of his character.

The hacker in Wired Instability wears a USB drive around her neck, a sacred artifact of her time, recalling the nostalgia of the early 21st century. This symbol is also a window into her past, a time when technology was less invasive. Perhaps it contains crucial fragments of her history or essential tools for her future hacks. Her spiked perfecto pays homage to the punk era, illustrating her rebellious and nonconformist spirit.

The work is signed by a glitch easter egg, a recurring element in Pauline Mauny's creations, inviting observers to discover hidden links between her different works. So immersed in her world of hacking, digital energy overflows from her being, even glitching her own image. She is on a mission, probably hacking a mega corporation, seeking to overthrow oppressive power structures. Driven by a desire for justice, a personal quest or simply the adrenaline of the challenge, this hacker embodies the fight against a system that seeks to control and dominate.

Pauline Mauny, through Wired Instability, offers us a vision of a future where individuality and rebellion against oppression find expression through technology and cyberspace. This work inspires us to question our relationship with technology and to consider the possibilities of resistance and transformation that it can offer.
