Dominus Versus Doplus



Here is what happens when you let image processing software go wild. Random combinations of simple effects (like blur, rotate...) are applied to photos recursively over and over. This way the visible structures of the original material disappear, giving way to an aesthetics of process. Visible structures tend to emerge as ephemeral phenomena, grounded neither in matter nor design. There was no further editing apart from throwing out an aesthetically trivial majority of the terabytes of random results generated. The rest was chained up in no particular sequence, and the sepia coloring was added in the end. Software used (on Linux and OS X): ImageMagick, awk and command line. 		back
