Cory Arcangel's DUNK (2017) is a laser animation that depicts the motions of a stylised basketball player from an NBA video game throwing a ball into the basket. The artist drew the animation by hand into a computer using a Wacom tablet. It is projected onto the wall using a Kvant Laser projector Clubmax 800. The slam dunk represents both an aesthetic and performative gesture and an ideological motif of America's neo imperialism.
