My work explores and reflects on everyday human interaction with computers. All of the work is based on output from algorithms that I code, and all of the algorithms offer the computer—via random number generation—a voice in the outcome.
The output is then rendered by hand as accurately as possible, thereby injecting visual traces of human involvement—the inevitable microgesture and error of the hand—into the final result.
This dialogue combines digital process at its most creative with the human hand at perhaps its most mechanical, mapping computer output with repetitive yet subtly irregular marks such as burns or raised droplets of paint.
