Raining Blood
(Installation View), 2006, Mixed Media

Detail
Raining
Blood
For this work, Schipper has taken a classical plaster figure
of a Greek god, approximately three feet tall, cut him apart at the joints,
and hard wired him to a machine that “plays” the Slayer song,
“Raining Blood.” The song has been converted to a player piano
reel so that the machine is activated according to the beat. The figure
does not so much dance to the song as moves to its underlying logic.
