ABOUT THE ARTIST
Steve Dellicarpini
Lately I find myself repeatedly drawn to the artifacts of our digital age—the glitches, the errors, and the icons that have become our new universal language. My practice lives at the intersection of engineering and cultural critique, where I look for the human narrative hidden within technical systems or vice versa.
In works like Blue Screen of Red, I take the fleeting, frustrating visual language of system failure and give it a permanent, physical presence. Similarly, Book of Donald explores how political iconography is processed through these same digital and physical structures. By freezing these moments of breakdown or data saturation into tangible objects, I want my work to act as a mirror to our tech-centric reality. I believe we often overlook how these systems have rewritten our cultural DNA; I create art to highlight the absurdity, the anxiety, and the unintended beauty that arises when the machines we rely on finally fail us.
