A diptych. On the left side, a dragon is biting the head off a man, posed on the 'Hell' background from Bosch's 'Garden of Earthly Delights.' The serpent has the glaring red eye of HAL 9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' On the right, a saluting, smiling gas-jockey stands beside a vintage gas-pump, against a background cropped from the 'Heaven' third in 'Earthly Delights.' The pump's logo has been replaced with an oval of 'code waterfall' effect as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies. The other panels and signage on the pump have been replaced with Right to Repair logos: a fist holding an adjustable wrench and a crossed wrench and hammer icon.Image:
