An image is a single frame of a moving story.
I am a photographer who works with data, information and images to create a form of digital art. Photography, to me, is an expression of an individual’s personal encounters throughout life, expressing the impact each experience has, changing identity. The information we accumulate in a modern technological age is a large part of how we recognise ourselves. This translates into a virtual view of the world, seeing everything through screens, becoming an extension of the body, a virtual trail left behind like a piece of DNA. Through embedding different forms of information directly into a photographs code, I can represent data through a personal and comprehendible way, represents the physical manifestation of the corruption of data through photographic representation. As I merge the photograph through sound with other forms of information, the image becomes altered and corrupted, otherwise known as Glitched. I enjoy creating this work because of its unpredictability. Just like abstract painters have to relinquish a certain amount of control when creating, I entrust to technology.
