Hot Pixel Biopsy

Video screens, galvanized pipe, vinyl decal, acrylic sheet, power strip, 48in x 44in x 9in, 2023

Hot Pixel Biopsy interfaces the diagnostic systems of the human body with that of the screen. This piece incorporates screen diagnostic footage for hot or dead pixels and overlays them onto my photographed bruise, rendered in printed vinyl decal. The resulting work draws comparison to the injury of a hot pixel on the screen to that of a bruise on the human body.
