These prints are a series of images originally taken from photographs of projections. The light of the projector is captured by the camera and distorted but cannot be seen by the human eye. The white pages of my digital book were projected on the wall and documented, and each white page takes on a different colour as it moves and is photographed. These photographs exemplify how colour can emerge from a seemingly ‘empty’ space. By cropping the images from the view of the double page spread I have focused in on the parts of the image that contain text. The photographs capture the pages as they are turning so there is a shift in the page’s layout and the text gets broken up and can merge with the previous page. The software that I used to create the books has digitised the pages, and when they move the pixels become more visible as the software attempts to make a smooth transition between pages. By photographing them mid-turn I capture this more pixelated image. A 4-colour screen print manipulates the image again by separating it into CMYK layers, and piecing them back together always leave a gap in perfection; the digital image looks even more pixelated. A visual disruption of data can be seen from the shifts between analogue and digital technologies.
