^{_{I Have Been Told Not to Choose Certain Colors When It Comes to Car Purchases After I Came to Melbourne}}

^{_{This work originated from the artist’s experience of purchasing a car upon his arrival in Melbourne. A friend advised him to avoid certain car colors, citing a supposed connection between vehicle color and ethnicity. Unable to find statistics to support this claim, the artist realized it was his friend’s personal bias and stereotype. In response, he positioned his video camera over a traffic surveillance camera on the M1 highway in Melbourne, capturing a one-hour objective traffic video. After editing out all cars of the mentioned colors, the final video was reduced to 44 minutes. The missing cars were replaced by glitches, rendering the video seemingly ordinary. Much like these subtle flaws, prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination pervade real life, yet everything appears normal on the surface.}}
