2000 Cliparts

2000 Cliparts is a sequence of two thousand stock clip art illustrations where human figures are grouped by form and pose. Built solely from found material, the pre-made images merge hundreds of illustration styles in a staccato flow of activities. Rather than a taxonomy of human culture, the seamlessly looping stream is a portrait of the compartmentalization inherent in stock imagery. No single image is highlighted or takes precedent as the sum of flickering parts emphasizes collective entanglement. Produced in 2010, 2000 Cliparts marks a significant work associated both with Post-Internet art as well as blog and meme culture.
