Cory Arcangel, excerpt from ‘Colors’ (2006)
The departure point for this work is a 1988 film by Dennis Hopper called Colors about violence between Los Angeles street gangs. Arcangel developed a computer program to scramble Hopper’s cinematic images, transforming them into a dynamic abstraction.
On view at Tate Modern until the 14th of October.
