Punchline

This multimedia piece draws from an API database of racist jokes—when a user interacts with the piece, a “setup” appears, moving sporadically about the canvas until it settles and “dries.” However, these racist jokes are always absent their punchline, foregrounding how menacing these questions are when they are not allowed the laughter that lets the joke teller off the hook. This piece works both as a timed “video” or can be interacted with. Every time the user clicks (taps the screen, “knocks”) a joke will appear.
