Pathology Loop #10 (2019–2021) is part of the Pathology Loop series, a major body of digital collages assembled from fragments of web content, anime imagery, memes, cultural detritus, and hyper-online visual language. Created in the pre-AI era of the artist’s practice, these works operate as digital artefacts and residual traces of a terminally online culture defined by oversaturation, algorithmic decay, and identity collapse. Rather than offering traditional expression or critique, Pathology Loop embraces art as the inevitable byproduct of cultural entropy — the material left behind once utility, meaning, and relevance have eroded. Each piece functions as a fossilized glitch, a preserved remnant of a hyperconnected civilization in decline.

Artists in conversation

Artie Vierkant
American · b. 1986

Vierkant assembles digital collages that engage with internet culture, image circulation, and the residual artifacts of online visual language, mirroring Ball's use of web fragments and algorithmic decay as compositional material. Both artists treat the digital image as an unstable, mutable object shaped by networked oversaturation.

Jon Rafman
Canadian · b. 1981

Rafman constructs immersive works from anime imagery, memes, and deep internet detritus to explore identity collapse and the psychic toll of terminally online culture, closely paralleling the thematic and material concerns of Pathology Loop. His practice similarly treats web content as archaeological fragments of a decaying digital civilization.
Harm van den Dorpel
Dutch · b. 1981
Van den Dorpel creates digital collage works assembled from heterogeneous online imagery and cultural noise, engaging with themes of algorithmic circulation and the fragmentation of meaning in hypersaturated visual environments. His pre AI era digital practice shares Ball's interest in networked culture as both medium and subject.
