Perta Cortright has said that all she needs to make work is a computer and that all the tools and content she needs are available on the internet. Whatever the program, she only uses the default settings, thereby avoiding invention while championing reuse. The paintings on silk are images of Cortright that were taken from her webcam video stills. Cortright videos are all self-portraits entirely free of post-production editing.
