Teknovisuell Experience I

Water symbolises life and serves as a source for vitality. Part of my daily routine is to walk to and from a body of water. When I am doing this, I often see people sharing their time interacting with people through mobile phones. Having increased usage of my own screen through video conferences and social media, I took interest in the way uploading and downloading processes through data centers to interpret data sent. While the image loses some qualities, it picks up on others. The Teknovisuell Experiences series of images was made by uploading and downloading images of the water. I uploaded the image to social media, and downloaded the images, repeating this process 7 times for each image. The final result then, the image as process through the social media channels data services, and then manipulated the image to highlight the degraded visual elements. The still images are sometimes applied as entire wall coverings, but in this series, I made digital gifs out of the still images to make the static light reflections on the waters surface, hover and move based on the idea of ghosts in our machines.
