Digitocubist landscape

Whether algorithmic, biological, or social, we live enmeshed in codes and as participants in expanding ecologies of sensory systems both human and non-human. Through the rise of computer vision and machine learning, these ecologies increasingly also include machines. Created in 2018, Untitled (Digitocubist Landscape) is among the first of my pixelsorted compositions, juxtaposing human and algorithmic attempts to process, catalogue, and make meaning of this networked perceptive experience. Each begins as a photograph or photographic collage, manipulated through a sorting algorithm and then relayered digitally “by hand.”

The print was used as the interior for the vinyl record Miss Information Aged by Eldren, for which I also designed the additional cover artwork for the album, CD, cassette, and other releases.
