2014

A luminous digital painting rendered on aluminium, Cortright layers cascading fields of color and texture generated through her signature process of manipulating software interfaces and file systems. The work's title reads as a string of fragmented computer code and system files, reflecting the artist's ongoing interrogation of digital infrastructure and the hidden architecture of everyday technology. The aluminium substrate lends the piece a reflective, screen-like quality, blurring the boundary between painting and the glowing monitors from which Cortright's practice emerges.
