Angela Bulloch's Broken Chain B4:55 consists of a five-part frieze with 10 Pixel Boxes each (large modular pixels with a "screen" on one side and a modular system able to generate 16 million different colours) that are mutually linked via single Pixel Boxes on the floor. The chromatic relationships, coded as a progression of colours, form the basis of a program that controls the colour flow through the uninterrupted chain of Pixel Boxes.

In her ongoing investigations of the structures that condition human behaviour, Bulloch demonstrates the way control functions in terms of technical processes rather than social norms. We are confronted with chains of commands, which we call programs and now take for granted quite as much as we do our routine behaviour and modes of perception.

Often incorporating a variety of media, Angela Bulloch's art vibrantly reconfigures the social and cultural realities that regulate behaviour and decision-making. Since 2000, she has developed the patented "dmx module" -- the digital component core to her series of Pixel Boxes with a modular system of red, green and blue fluorescent tubes that can generate 16 million different colours.

In Bulloch's Antimatter3: Human Torch: 2:3:1, the "on" and "off" or, in digital speak, the "0" and "1", allow for an almost infinite number of possible combinations. This is one of the underlying motivations in all of her works -- that systems can be reconfigured, made interactive, multiplied and challenged, while any positioning located beyond these systems is deemed literally unthinkable.

Since 1991, Bulloch has pursued the ongoing "Rules Series" project, a selection of instructions and manuals ranging from the method for preparing tea to rules of behaviour for strippers. By removing them from their original context, she exposes the man-made nature of rules and laws and looks at the way society invents mechanisms of regulation, control and sanction for almost all activities in order to maintain a stable social structure.

Part of this series, Inuit Words for Snow highlights the role of language. When viewers follow the list of rules issued with this work, the strings of dingbat symbols can be converted back into a regular font, revealing nineteen Inuit expressions for snow (anniu -- falling snow, api -- ground snow, qali -- snow on the boughs of trees, etc.).
