I love thinking about the little battles all the small things around face everyday. With the pull tab separated, this can has been beheaded. Discarded, mangled, emptied and exposed. For me, this can is a reminder that we don't always see the struggle around us.
Sega's Art Alive! has a lot of limitations. 16 colours, a control pad for input and no way to save your work, but I wanted to create something beautiful. 'As Seen on TV' is a collection of art made using a Sega Mega Drive, a control pad and a copy of Art Alive!. I recorded the screen to capture the process knowing the original drawing would be lost as I turned the system off.
