Recurring Concepts In Art
Recurring Concepts In Art is a digital reinterpretation of the popular puzzle game 2048, reimagined with Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup cans in place of numerical tiles. This work imagines a game of logic and combination into a meditation on repetition, consumerism, and the cyclical nature of artistic themes.
By replacing numbers with one of the most recognizable icons of Pop Art, the piece draws attention to how repetition—both visual and conceptual—functions in contemporary art. As the soup cans stack and merge, the viewer engages with ideas of mass production, cultural saturation, and the blurring lines between high art and everyday objects.
This interactive artwork invites players to consider how art recycles and recontextualizes imagery over time, much like how the game recycles and combines elements in pursuit of a final form. Recurring Concepts In Art explores the tension between originality and reproduction, play and critique, inviting viewers to reflect on what makes something iconic, and how that iconography evolves in the digital age.
