A demonic figure cropped from the ‘Hell’ section of Hieronymus Bosch’s ‘Garden of Earthly Delights.’ She is on all fours, looking over her shoulder. Her entire rectum has been removed, revealing smaller, industrious demonic figures at work inside her guts. Her open rectum has been limned in radioactive acid-green light. Atop her flat hat is an open box of radium suppositories, lid open to reveal (entirely inadequate) health warnings. The background is a dark, abstract damask wallpaper pattern.

A hospital room with a hospital bed. The patient in the bed is wearing some kind of red mind-control helmet with a red cord snaking away to a switchplate on the wall. He is grimacing and clutching his sheets. A breakway wall shows a caricature of Uncle Sam whose legs stick out to suggest a horseshoe magnet. His face has been replaced with the glowing red eye of HAL9000 from Kubrick’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey.’ Behind him is a ‘code waterfall’ as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis’ ‘Mat

A gigantic figure whose head has been replaced with the staring red eye of HAL 9000 from Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. He peers through a magnifying glass at two boys who stand on his palm, dressed in 19th century child laborer’s garb. They stare defiantly at the viewer.

The produce section of a grocery store, with Kroger’s signage. It is animated. The image fades to a version in which all the hand-lettered price signs are replaced with code waterfalls as seen in the credit-sequences of the Wachowskis’ ‘Matrix’ movies.

The image fades again and the doubled prices are replaced with the code waterfall agai
