I’ve been doing portraits of people I know in self-isolation. Spray paint on old monitors. Drawing is done by scraping away the paint. I’ve put the first several in this thread...
I’ve got 51 monitors. Friend of mine used to own a warehouse filled with all sorts of odds and ends. When he sold the warehouse he said his friends could take whatever they wanted. I took these.
Interesting provenance for these monitors. I think they were originally used on trading floors in the 80s/90s. After that they were used at the now closed Remote Lounge in NYC. Patrons could tune into video feeds of different parts of the bar using remote controls...
This video gives you a sense of what they’ll look like as a group when all the monitors are turned on. Now imagine 49 of them, stacked 7x7.
