Cory arcangel

Arcangel’s pavement rainbow is part of the artist’s established practice of questioning how we assimilate and appropriate digital experience in our daily lives. How does digital technology, and even everyday internet browsing, games and music on the platforms we all use, transform the contours of our reality? What do we really see, hear and feel? How does our collage of perceptions, which we naively pass off as reality, work? Do we really connect a coloured pattern on the floor to a rainbow in the sky? Cory Arcangel uncovers and describes these disconnections, creating an open and playful situation, which in this case occurs while walking on a rainbow.
