A printmaking project with a conceptual process of degrading images:
These custom prints depict color swapped realities of common spaces and their objects- the colors from one person’s space were replaced with the colors from another person’s space. The resolutions were inspired by a painting process used by my father who creates different sized grids on canvas to facilitate the act of accurately reproducing a photographic image, block-by-block.
About the Process:
-Colors are deduced to 12 possibilities.
-Colors from one image are replaced with those of the same scene from another person’s image.
-Print separations are made from each of the 12 colors, with different resolutions.
-Each color/resolution is printed separately with a pigment inkjet printer. There are around 12 printings on each piece of paper.

Infinite Glitch by Bit_Synthesis
Every day an incomprehensible number of new digital media files are uploaded to hosting sites across the internet. Far too many for any one person to consume. Infinite Glitch is a stream-of-conciousness representation of this overwhelming flood of media, its fractured and degraded sounds and images reflecting how little we as an audience are able to retain from this daily barrage.
Infinite Glitch is an automated system that generates an ever-changing audio/video stream from the constantly increasing mass of media files freely available on the web. Source audio and video files are ripped from a variety of popular media hosting sites, torn apart, and recombined using collage and glitch techniques to create an organic, chaotic flood of sensory input.
