The images from Studies in Corruption are produced with an intentional introduciton of fault and failure in the development process, an adoption of a certain aesthetics of failure.

Kim Cascone, a pioneer in contemporary electronic music, describes a similar process as used in his musical compositions: through the introduction of “glitches, bugs, application errors, system crashes, clipping, aliasing, distortion and quantization noise” his process creates unintentional and invariably unpredictable audio results. Intentional failures.

Similar to John Cage’s extensive incorporation of the 'I Ching' in his compositional processes, this consciously aleatory approach to the creative process distances the artist’s role from the actual outcome. While the artist may put the elements and procedures in place, there is little determination on the aesthetic result.

For Studies in Corruption, I employ a variety of processes in the image-production that introduce intentional faults. The rendering techniques thus far have included altering digital file intergrity (scattering raw data), phase and resolution shifts, digital signal-stream interrupts, damaged lenses, light seep exposures, altered phone cameras…
