Turn the operation of objects by making them do exactly the opposite of what you are supposed to do is another of the classic mechanisms applied in contemporary art that are very well highlighted when they are deployed to 'objects' made of code, ie the software. And this is precisely what they have done in Beige and RSG groups TAC , a software freely available in beta for Mac OS X. TAC stands for 'Total Asshole Compression', or 'compression complete idiot', that instead of compressing files, encoding it enlarges them. The effects of increased size are exponential, as the file so 'compressed' is guaranteed at least 14 times larger, but also may become as much as two orders of magnitude greater. Between broadband and gigabytes of hard drive at will in the series, the sense of generic data compression algorithms is losing sense, doing wrong to economy of resources that should instead be a value shared by all. Giving meal to the program file sizeable you may even crash the machine imploding metaphorically drowning in his own resources. This bulimia induced by the code is a useful paradox, an anti-utility that endangers the data of its user and casual at the same time exposes the arrogance of the facade of the amount of memory by default, as still insufficient.
