DWG | Dirty Works Greece
Internet art website (2005)
www.dirtyworks-greece.info

DWG is an internet art website, showcasing a fake company's profile, that offers various illegal services to Greek citizen (job positions, facilitations etc.) using traditional corruption processes.

The work was critical against both the corruption in Greece and the search engines' functionality, which promoted the website to the top of job seeking search results.

By visiting the website, users were able to "order" one or more of the illegal services that the company offered, by using their credit cards at the order form of the website.

The order form was not active, neither data was stored on the server. Here is the HTML code used:
form name="form1" method="post" action=""

However, the work has been censored and the artist was accused of fraud.
