What It Is Without the Hand That Wields It
Sculpture / Electronic, 2008

Violence is an inevitable, mechanical function of the human brain, hard-coded down through time by culture, genetics, and evolution. Mediated experiences of killing change our perception of authentic violence and death. As gamers die in a public video game server for Counter-strike, a popular online first person shooter, the electronic solenoid valves dispense a small amount of fake blood. The trails left down the wall create a physical manifestation of virtual kills.
