Stemming from a Google Maps misnomer, an accidental discovery, this film comprises a collection of footage from one of Times Square’s last‑standing DVD sex stores with private pleasure booths — a final relic of NYC’s historic peep shows. Intervening into the cathode‑ray signal, ColorManic deploys hard‑wire glitching to distort an assortment of female figures. Originally encoded onto silver discs, these bodies finally escape the confines of our gaze through bright nodes of color, dissolving into abstraction.
