Megapack | Mari Rika

The Mari Rika Megapack is not an artwork but an event . It does not signify but recurs . As one anonymous commenter on a datahoarder forum wrote, “I’ve had it for three years and I still don’t know if it’s a virus or a masterpiece.” This paper concludes that it is, in fact, both. Future research should examine whether “Mari Rika” is the same entity behind the infamous “Pink Keeper 7z” or merely a glitch in the collective hard drive of the internet.
