This print was made in Tokyo from two photographs and a live sound recording. It was created through the combination of sound, photography. The artwork took around 420 hours to create, due to the potential of corruption when changing an image's code. The image has a science-fiction appearance, seeing the river and boats with the tower in the background, while the second photograph is from inside the tower. This combination has created the outlook with the sound recording effecting the vibrant colours, if we can see sound then possibly we can hear imagery. The artwork is printed into plywood, with a resin coating to give it the shine.
Within the merging process 90% control is relinquished, as the images and sound connect on a physical level. Reading colours, grain and pixels, similar to reading the symbols for music, if we can see sound then possibly we can hear imagery. The more control we involuntarily release, the more we grasp to retain. However, it is the unawareness in the modern technological age of how lyrical devices are using the data we accumulate. Deciphering our individual preferences and how these feed into the technological consciousness. In the digital age it's like having a second consciousness only this one lives in code, in data, a non-biological form.
