Jody Zellen’s No Turn on Red (2024) performs a metaphor and meditation on motion and waiting for motion. Taking the form of an interactive, browser-based artwork, Zellen interrogates our cultural willingness to perform simulations by toying with the concepts of direction and pathways. The act of clicking through the bold text and graphic images on-screen is reminiscent of street signs coming in and out of view.
