Sensorscape Series There is a sub-culture of defiant pixels resisting the corporate drive for comely photographic perfection. It is decidedly un-American to embrace these "errors" of the digital camera's sensor, but that is rich territory worth exploring. Chromatic aberrations, purple fringing, hot pixels, Christmas Lights, stuck pixels, shadow noise—6 by 6 checkerboard pixel regions of malfunction—are just a handful of situations where the light-sensitive silicon fails to render reality. While digital camera technology speeds forward and stamps out these embarrassing hiccups; I have chosen to embrace them, magnify them, celebrate them. This territory of "mistakes" is rich in precedent. It is no different than the painter’s accidental drips, careless brush strokes, or ill-chosen color that carries the painting from sub-grade to sublime. My images take cues from color field pioneers like Albers and Kelly by finding harmony, contrast, and resonance in the ready-made pixel field. This allusion to dadaism goes further by taking what exists at 50 microns and exploding it to five feet. Once isolated and figuratively blown up, its beauty is revealed. Who needs five million pixels, when 36 will do just as nicely? Click on the thumbnail icons on the right to view a larger version of each photograph. Enjoy.
