Pointillisme: Texas

2021

Series of videos and prints depicting an autumnal forest in Texas.

A high-precision laser scanner observes the intricate and vibrant tree formations, unable to accurately resolve their complex geometries and colors. Documenting the scanner’s failures and related chromatic aberrations, this research draws a parallel between pictorial traditions and new machinic expressiveness.
