USB Killcharms 1–3

2024

Medium: Laser Sintered Aluminium, Electronics, Dyneema Fibre

An imbued weapon for enacting violence against biosphere-harming infrastructure & technology. This jewellery piece destroys the circuitry of the equipment it is plugged into.

Comprised of hundreds of intricately modelled platelets forged from laser-sintered aluminium. Embedded within lies a USB killswitch device — developed by researcher Dark Purple — that draws power into its capacitors and repeatedly sends a high-powered voltage surge back into the datalines of the connected device.

Dyneema Sk87 Bio-based HMPE Fibres are handwoven into Nejiri Gumi Kumihimo by artist/designer Celina Samarakoon.

Keywords: adornment, electronics, sculpture
