In this episode MOOGZ tells me how he manages to evade security and how he uses the recordings of his (legitimate and pre-authorised) cyber attacks to create sonic installations. He also discusses his work [Malignancy], recorded over the course of 12 years as his mother Angela underwent radiotherapy.

MOOGZ (Matthew O'Donnell) is a hacker and conceptual artist whose evolutionary research into sound and digital mediums has seen him present work at the Tokyo Science Museum and the Manhattan Javits Center. He has been a live performer of electronic sound since 2003.
