Dirty Pricks

Dirty Pricks

Dirty Pricks is a large hanging drawing in progress, currently containing 103,488 digits from June 1st – 7th 2024, when completed it will contain 443,520 pin pricks for the whole month of June . The drawing absent of ink, absent of information, forms an analogue data storage cloud. Similarly to the Dirty Drawings when the viewer peers into the landscape of tiny pin pricks, they are caught in a mist, unable to grasp or locate the individual data points, presenting the impenetrability and inaccessibility of raw data.
