I have been both fascinated and perplexed by the intriguing things that happen when I observe my images through the device screen. When I am zooming in and out, the screen flickers, glitches and produces the grid-like structures that have found their way into my work. In essence, I am attempting to capture this interpretation of the image through the language of pixels. It is interesting to remind myself that what I see through the screen is not exactly what the image looks like in that moment of time. The percentage view is important here as the lines that appear shifts according to this figure. The above image is a screen shot taken on my iPhone capturing the moment the screen is attempting to translate the image and present to my retina. This provides a temporal quality to the work as I am recoding a moment in time that is not transfixed but moving as my fingers interact with the iPhone touch-screen. Again, the relation to my body presents itself; I have also recoded me zooming in and out of an image on my laptop to record this phenomenon taking place.
