Meditation on the nature of digital information
Exhibitions: 11/2002 – Stillwell Art Show, San Francisco State University, San Francisco
Description
Digital information is experienced as abstract, arbitrary and ultimately ephemeral. Furthermore, according to Jean Baudrillard there is also an inverse relationship between information and meaning. This piece explores these ideas by using sample-rate conversion, compression and other digital means of adding and removing information. A single still image was used.
