Cyber Watchdog

"A good watchdog is one that guards the owner's property, not the intruder's life.”

— Wayne Chirisa

This quote reminds us that the purpose of cybersecurity tools is to protect our own data and privacy not to invade the privacy of others. While it's important to take steps to protect ourselves online we should also respect the privacy of others and not use cybersecurity tools to invade their privacy.

I have asked ChatGPT to help me describe this mosaic artwork of mine about cybersecurity. It’s a subject I am particularly interested for many many years. From the good old days of phreakers and hackers who created SiliconValley till today’s more difficult and more dark situation, life in the digital space is posing the same social and political questions real life hasn’t really answered for centuries.

So here’s an artwork or better a new version of an older work I did for the cover of Leaders Edge, a magazine exclusively designed for commercial insurance brokers & agents.

The typeface used is PF DIN Monospaced, designed by Panos Vassiliou from Parachute Fonts. This is the #monospaced version of PF DIN Pro, comprised of characters with fixed width, ideal for ascii art and other retrocomputing art forms.
