Inspiration & Concept: Just as the mythical creature is a composite of different animals, these Chimera works are created from the integration of disparate digital sources. The extra-large pieces of art were inspired by the experiment to to take a wide variety of content – from images and video to sound and text – and fuse them into a single, functioning files. The is intent to bring chaos in multiple forms together in a working cohesive whole.


Message & Meaning: failed digital synthesis, delight vs. alarm, representation of information, lo and behold

faces

The un·i·den·ti·fi·a·ble series of work began as an experiment: what is a portrait without identity? The core concept was to take a recognizable face and distort the image until the original is unrecognizable. "removing identities until the source is no longer seen."


Process & Technique: The process involves altering the dimensions within the file’s data, causing it to distort differently than changing the size in an editing program. This involves many layers of repeated editing, until the subject form is completely abstracted. The files are corrupted through manipulation, transforming faces into pure color and shape.
