Description

In 2015, I was one of the awardees of the inaugural Rhizome microgrants, and ultimately lost my $500 award in a bitcoin exit scam on the deep web. What began as a fairly facecious proposal to try and hire a hacker to get myself the Twitter handle I wanted ended in a series of bizarre rabbitholes and a lot of anxious nightmares about ending up on an FBI watchlist.

A description of the project is archived on Rhizome.org.
