Trojan horse, computer artwork
Trojan horse. Conceptual computer artwork of a wooden horse on wheels entering through city gates made from computer parts. This could represent a type of malicious computer program known as a trojan. A trojan is a destructive program disguised as a benign application. It can cause major problems such as deletion of data but, unlike a computer virus, is unable to replicate. Ther term comes from a story in Homers Iliad where a giant wooden horse was given to the Trojans as a peace offering by the Greeks. The horses hollow interior contained Greek soldiers who opened the city gates and allowed the Greeks to take Troy

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Trojan horse, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. The wooden horse on wheels gracefully enters the city gates made entirely from computer parts, symbolizing the concept of a trojan - a malicious computer program disguised as something harmless. While unable to replicate like a virus, this destructive software can cause significant damage such as data deletion. The term "Trojan" finds its roots in Homer's Iliad, where the Greeks presented the Trojans with an enormous wooden horse as a peace offering. Little did they know that hidden within its hollow interior were Greek soldiers who would later open the city gates and conquer Troy. This historical reference adds depth to this thought-provoking illustration. Incorporating elements of security, communication, and technology, this artwork serves as a reminder of the constant battle against malware and hackers in our interconnected world. It highlights both the vulnerability and ingenuity present in modern-day computing systems. With intricate details showcasing keyboards and other technological components seamlessly integrated into its structure, this sculpture represents high-tech communications intertwined with potential threats lurking beneath their surface. Overall, Science Photo Library has masterfully captured an image that encapsulates history, artistry, and cautionary tales about internet security all within one frame.
