CAPTCHA Paintings
Human Error (7″x6″)
CAPTCHA Painting 1 (7″x6″)
CAPTCHA Painting 2 (7″x6″)
I started this series after encountering CAPTCHAS on several major sites including Blogger, Yahoo and MSN. These codes are used to prove that the site’s users are human, and not a spam bot. The whole thing seems very “Blade Runner.” It was fun to take this computerized humanity test and paint them in oils, an all-too human process.
