[Philipp Teister]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE												         September 27th 2013

	      
              BINL♥VER
Informed he has insufficient funds, an underachieving con artist genius turned media artist turns to using his expertise in deception to provide a legacy for his own... by harvesting digital trash bins and creating www.binlover.net data porn website.

BINL♥VER is a user oriented outbound data-dealing service, adding new value and appreciation on data discarded by its original proprietor and relocating the data to other users on a supply-and-demand basis. Teister switches between the roles of social engineer and data entrepreneur, bringing orphaned files into contact with those who are unable to provide their own.

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, an all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all of the time."
ABE LINCOLN

Staging an information emergency, such as needing to download a flight ticket, Teister invites himself to computers being used in the public space. From these hijacked computers, he harvests unwanted and trashed data. Teister then transforms rejected personal files into a product and puts them on the market. There are always people looking for data. One person's trash is another person's goldmine.

“I've heard quite a lot of people that talk about post-privacy, […],there's just no possibility for privacy left anymore and we just have to get used to it. And this is a pretty fascinating thing.[…]”
JACOB APPLEBAUM

Data will be sold on USB memory stick at 10.000 files a batch. BINL♥VER promises to deliver prime quality data in a variety of file types ranging from executables to family snapshots. With a keen understanding of base economic principles, BINL♥VER invades the privacy of trash bins and creates market value out of them. Teister examines how social situations, the trusting of strangers in particular, may yield data: harvesting actions could be considered stealth attacks on people's privacy but are also an act of sharing. Using the gap between data functionality and data ownership to his own advantage, Teister presents the tipping point between commodity and trash through his social engineering enterprise.

"…Teister sneaks up bluntly and bangs girls' and boys' computers with his monster stick, he wildly penetrates them and instead of hot spraying his data into their usb-hole he sucks 'em dry[…]"
