many of pusenkoff's works show components of a computer screen, and the work titles also repeatedly refer to the possibilities of the computer in the design of images, such as "cancel" ("who is afraid cancel cancel", 1998), "matrix" ("paint matrix", 2001) or "erased" ("erased painting", 2003). the human being who processes, manipulates, distorts, brings images into other contexts and can share them with other users on the computer seems godlike. he masters everything and is himself untouchable behind his computer. pusenkoff's works irritate by imitating the screen surface. the viewer believes he sees a work of art that he can change and design. but in reality it is a painted picture that is unchangeable. this irritation is intended by the artist: "moreover, i am sure that constant irritation is the main condition for the perception of any artistic language."
