Blue Circle of Death

"Blue Circle of Death" is Microsoft's pulsing cursor, the equivalent of Apple's spinning Pinwheel. Less celebrated but just as persistent, it is more often encountered by those who work in the interstices of software and code. In this lightbox, what was once loathsome is reimagined with uncanny beauty. Scaled up, remastered, and illuminated beyond its original purpose, the Blue Circle becomes a glowing mandala of pause, a meditation on the experience of waiting for something that never arrives.
