We now live in a world where our digital lives have altered our perception of reality, measurement of time, the value of our commodities, and aesthetics that suggest direct facts.

There is no distinction between how ‘real’ the experiences humans perceive from their screens and outside them. We are now all cyborgs.

Asset No011 is drawn physically by hand using ink without rules in NY. Blue Lines are drawn after experiencing LA physically on the day of the submission. A digital grid, where there are infinite resources, is superimposed on the site-less analog object.

Asset No012 is a drawing as a photograph of our Higgins Hall commute towards Atlantic Ave superimposed by aesthetic digitization glitching the physical reality of our movement. Is this a rendering? Is this digitally modeled? Who is responsible for the design of our daily experience? Who inhabits our streets? Is it you, the commuter; the person that lives inside the brownstones; the restaurants that serve food with QR codes? Where are the underlying power structures of money, influence, and art when they are all hidden by the seemingly infinite resources on our screens? Can you see them now that it is glitching?

The submission format, QR codes, has forced these drawings to be superimposed with the mark of the medium of transfer, the scanner. The four analog registration marks on the corners allow intensional decisions between solid & void spaces of the drawing. Call-outs & transitions between varying scales act as screens through which the collage drawings are made.
