In these images traditional image data exists alongside or within the altered or intangible allowing (or even forcing) a photograph or the idea of a photograph to move beyond the 2D and exist in 3D and even 4D spaces or implied spaces. The photographic object is altered to reflect an increasingly immaterial experience of photography and the demands that that experience makes on our perceptions and expectations of the medium. In the reading or deciphering of image data, we have grown accustomed to increasingly complex visual strategies and potentials. Commercial schema applied to otherwise mundane or personal originals create a tension between the photographic/expected and the immaterial/intangible that mimics the mutable nature of the contemporary visual experience – solid/organic to liquid/screen and, potentially, back again.
