Description

I often think very materially about how the device I’m depicting functions, and this helps lead me to new solutions. I chose a paper with a color to it. This print of a shiny whitish laptop encloses the screen space causing the actual paper to glow and radiate. What’s happening in the screen is up to debate—a ‘crash’ or perhaps we’re viewing something on the outer edges of our solar system? The computer feels paradoxically light and heavy, clunky and refined, random and structured. The activated brushstrokes in the background seem to be sending waves of information or dissipating heat from a computer processing an overload of data. The computer itself feels like it is both fading and appearing in its translucent ephemeral state.
