Kleptography is a term that is used to describe the use of cryptographic techniques to maliciously manipulate computer systems. The etymological origin of the term kleptography is derived from the Greek words klepto, meaning to steal and graphein, meaning to write.

Pragmatically, kleptography is the malicious manipulation of a computer system using cryptographic methods to do so, usually with the intent to steal data or compromise the system.

The medium involves taking everyday objects, from coins to clothing to furniture, and using a combination of sculpture and painting to create them in more unexpected forms.
