Red Andy Warhol Crash Infinite Times (2008) depicts the artist driving a crashed car from Orange Car Crash Fourteen Times (1963). This crashed car has been modified into an automatic screen-printing device, constantly tracking trace elements of the fourteen car crashes on one of two monochromatic canvases. The other canvas tallies Warhol's progress, functioning as a large scoreboard which reflects its opposite. By sequencing Warhol's series of red self portraits in time, the artist appears constantly electrocuted as the crashed car bumps along. How long must one play before the death drive is satisfied?
