PETRA CORTRIGHT

If you visit Badlands Unlimited (badlandsunlimited.com) you will be greeted by "The Wall" - a rotating digital artwork platform curated by Badlands Unlimited founder: Paul Chan. Petra Cortright is the first artist to feature on 'The Wall' and for this she has created flash [.swf] files by manipulating PC based animated desktop files... below are screen gabbed images from two works from the series where she hacked the software, adding strippers to the otherwise barren, yet seemingly idealised background images. "Click me".
