Description

// INITIAL OWNERS CAN CLAIM AN A4 PHYSICAL GICLEE ART PRINT OF THIS PIECE // Printed on Hahnemuehle German Etching 310gsm paper >> Send an email to alt2gnon@yahoo.com << MZZL VLCTY: // a single monosyllable // familiar/trivial/loaded // processed/degraded/misprinted // the word holds still // everything else slips The series that takes its cue from Ed Ruscha’s ‘News, Mews, Pews, Brews, Stews & Dues’, flipping the transatlantic lens. Where Ruscha explored Britain through an American eye, this series looks back at the U.S. from a British one. A long-dead digital Ruscha archive is influential, its broken hyperlinks and missing images shaping the project’s approach to degradation and loss. Rather than using British foodstuffs as ink (as Ruscha did), these works pull colour from the language of Trump’s 2025 Executive Orders and Proclamations fired off in a fast, calculated blitz during the early weeks of his second term. Python code translates those texts into colour palettes: policy turned pigment. The font is borrowed from American political media and the title comes from Steve Bannon’s phrase ‘muzzle velocity’; his term for a relentless, high-speed narrative assault of political messaging. Each piece is deliberately degraded by one of a series of processes. In the works, the words are pixelated and glitched by broken hyperlinks of themselves, hypertext hauntology.
