some first examples
from a photo-based vector
that seems to share affinities
with the emergency series of paintings.
here, quotidian images are first
captured on a cellphone.
the densitometric curves,
chromatic content
and visual textures
of the images are then
altered to suggest the power
and the nature of the data
capture technologies tend
to obscure or "average out"
as they collect, process,
organize and simplify
retinal reality.
the organizing apparatus
(this time electronic-digital-mechanical)
again reveals the limits of its design
and "native" functions.
