Flag, 2005 was made by subjecting the standard pattern for the United States flag to simulated wind and turbulence in a computer animation program. A still from the animation was used to create a large scale functional flag out of durable appliqued nylon fabric. These manipulations give the flag the appearance that it is blowing in a high wind, contorting and disfiguring the stars and stripes, even while still.

Flag has flown atop the warehouse at the corner of 25th Street and 10th Avenue in New York since 2005, among other locations around the world.
