To Be Killed and Be Still
Using political texts such as propaganda, Zweschi inputs the raw data of the harmful messages into an algorithm and runs it through a series of "if/then" rules that she assigns based on the structure and grammar of the written words. From this data, she "receives an output of painterly actions that direct her composition and sense of color." As she explains, “The resulting painting could not exist without the original or altered text.”
To Be Killed and be Still is a triptych with left panel measuring 63.75 x 32.125 inches; center panel, 63.75 x 48.125 inches; right panel: 63.75 x 32 inches.
