DCP_Series (2010-ongoing)

DCP Series is a collection of Images produced by intentionally corrupting the circuitry of various Kodak DC series low-resolution digital cameras. By rewiring the electronics of a digital camera, glitched images are produced in a manner that parallels the chemical processing unexposed film or photographic paper to produce photographic images without exposure to light. The DCP Series of digital images are direct visualizations of data generated by a digital camera as it takes a picture. Electronic processes associated with the normal operations of the camera are revealed through an act of intervention. The camera is turned inside­out through complexes of short­-circuits chosen by the artist, transforming the camera from a picture taking device to a data capturing device that renders raw data (electronic signals) as images. In essence, these images are snap­shots of stray electronic signals racing through the camera’s circuits.  Manually rerouted and written directly to the on­board memory device, these signals are the products of an electronic unconscious. Rather than seeing images of the world through a lens, we catch a glimpse of what the camera sees when it is forced to peer inside its own mind.
