Description

Key words : icon, modification, recombination, remodulation, remix, remake, reenactment, amateur(wild) images, self-broadcast

After reading some text in the Reading and Writing Methodologies class, I made a small prototype, inspired by the subjects of those texts. My idea revolves the iconic side of images and their authenticity. We moved from the mechanical reproduction to the digital recombination. We lost the aura of symbolic images, now we gained it again by being part of them, by manipulating them as we wish. This becomes once again a form of ritual, a return to the unique function of the artwork. I selected some images (from the internet) that I find good to illustrate my idea.Then put them in a simple structure of pixelated images, that at first sight all look very familiar. That is only until the viewer slowly reveals the 'true' images, hidden underneath the pixelated versions by simply hovering over them.

I'd like to

• develop this further way (would appreciate ideas from you)
• use something similar to or paper.js/division raster to make an interactive projection/exhibition of images, that the visitor reveals himself, by physical interaction (for example by 'wiping' the image from extremely pixilated to a clear one, until it shows up, "surprisingly" not what was expected .
