This work continues common themes of pareidolia, perception
of reality, and the human experience from previous projects. Ever since the Information
Age, the Internet, and recent rapid development of A.I., humans have been busy hacking
and deconstructing our reality faster than ever, while simultaneously being
manipulated by it. Scientists find that the building blocks of our physical
reality are molecules or quarks. In technology, we see the blocks coded in
binary code bits of ones and zeros. Every now and again some unexplainable
phenomena occur, a glitch in the matrix, if you will.  

These pieces peel back some of the virtual façade of our relationship
with technology. This is how we interface, absorb information, and develop much
of our understandings of life and this world. These pieces are still frames
from a video piece. During the viral peer-to-peer BitTorrent craze of sharing
of files, I downloaded a movie, which happened to be coded. It would appear
differently depending on the video viewer that I chose to open the file with.
With one of the software applications, it produced a beautiful matrix of EBU
(European Broadcasting Union) color blocks. These scrambled blocks were
composed of the primary colors of paint (red, yellow, blue), the primary colors
of light (red, green, blue), and the primary colors of pigment inks (cyan,
magenta, yellow, black). Although I wasn’t able to watch the movie, I was mesmerized
by the array of colors, shapes, and patterns that would emerge.

 At first, it seemed curious, then meditative, and then
cognitive. I began thinking about what I was seeing and experiencing. As I peer
into the pixel anatomy of this film. I thought about how people see differently
and have different experiences of the same event. We have different minds, as
well as different eyes. Our minds develop through nature and nurture metaphysically,
but our eyes can have a very physical impact on how we empirically see. As I
sat watching different images emerge from the patterns, I wondered what other
people would see in the same moment and image. Furthermore, I continued thinking
about how many humans have different perceptions of color. It is widely scientifically
agreed that about 1 in 200 women are color blind, as compared to 1 in 12 men. Climbing
further down this rabbit hole, beyond just the patterns, I began to wonder how
these pieces may look differently to various people depending on their retinal
deficiency. I then began to connect the idea of certain colors/hues being
completely colorless or seemingly invisible to some.

This then triggered a connection to how we see the physical world
around us. Our eyes are only capable of viewing or perceiving about 0.00355% of
the entire visible electromagnetic spectrum. This means that more than 99% of
the world around us is invisible. What do you see that I don’t? If we saw things
the same way, would we have less conflict? How can I see the world like you?
How can we see all the seemingly invisibleness around us? How does that
invisible realm interact with us, unbeknownst to us?
