I updated a piece that I made in 2014 (painted some new zeros and ones and added to the original). I always dreamt of making this work large, where it goes all over the wall. One day maybe…
I think it feels more epic if they are all painted by hand, but I understand it makes more sense, economically speaking, to just screen print it. But does everything have to be about money?
Zeros and ones, binary code.
”Winner Every Time” was inspired by a Nine Inch Nail song, ‘Zero Sum’ on their album ‘Year Zero’ (2007).
“All we ever were, was just zeros and ones.” This idea is referenced in many films, including The Matrix. So I was coming at it from that particular angle. The colors and font give it a circus type feel, which I am a fan of, but also the work reminds me of bingo. The winning combo will win you a prize!
