Digital Decomposition

This series explores the artistic potential of digital imperfection through pixel sorting and raw data manipulation. Using Processing as a creative tool, the work investigates how controlled corruption can reveal new aesthetic possibilities within digital images.

Pixel Choreography

The initial experiments focused on vertical pixel sorting, allowing digital information to flow and stretch across the canvas. Each iteration revealed new patterns in the underlying image data.

Raw Data as Medium

The centerpiece emerged from direct manipulation of raw image data. By treating the file itself as a creative medium, unexpected color patterns and textures emerged from seemingly random alterations.

These experiments demonstrate how digital errors, when carefully cultivated, can transform from mere corruption into intentional artistic expression.
