In the 1980s, Jenny Holzer began using LED signs in her artwork, engaging a form usually associated with entertainment and advertising as a medium for her challenging texts. In Thorax, the arched LEDs become sculptural elements. Looming over eight feet tall and situated in a corner, the work resembles a ribcage, curving LEDs part at the bottom like the bones below the sternum.
