This was an accidental error and not the first of its kind. I always find photographing projected works near on impossible as the white background of the projection always seems to turn into a rainbow of colours – making the documentation of the work untrue to the first-hand experience.
This particular photograph has a bonus error of the image also blurring out the black text which should appear on the white strip of fabric on the left hand side of the image.
This image would not make it if I was picking photographs which I felt captured the moment intended.

My paper ‘The Intermittent Image’ which discusses the digital photographic error has been accepted for the Post Screen Festival of International Festival of Art, New Media and Cybercultures which will be held in Lisbon, Portugal this November.

It was good to show the first iteration of In Pursuit of Error at Carbon Meets Silicon, the Art Expo of ITA15 (Internet Technologies and Applications) conference at Glyndwr University this September. The expo was a great opportunity to showcase the project so far and to discuss the ideas behind it with other artists working with technology.  It’s helped me formulate some some new directions for the project.  The exhibition catalogue gives a good insight into the Expo – Read it Here.

In Pursuit of Error will be shown at Carbon Meets Silicon at Oriel Sycharth, Wrexham in September.

Looking forward to showing and talking about my project In Pursuit of Error at Oriel Sycharth next month.
