Dimension
78 894 octets on acetate foil
Taking the form of an installation, this work questions our relationship with digital images via the screen. What would happen if we no longer had this interface to link raw data and readable images? Through a series of computer experiments, I'm trying to deconstruct what a digital file is and give it a different form without losing its substance. Using code, the red, green and blue values of each pixel in an image are extracted and assembled in a text document. This is printed on acetate sheets, creating a stack that is difficult to manipulate. The image is there, but impossible to decode. It's also a way of materializing the intangible and echoing the many facets of the photographic medium.
