I have come to the realisation that I use a lot of devices in my work. Each of these devices has its own limitations of process yet what they can achieve is open for further investigation. In essence I am using these devices as a form of limited abstraction where I input my ideas/intentions (data) and receive an outcome unique to that device. Each one will produce a different outcome/series of outcomes. For every piece of data there are unlimited possibilities of how to interpret and manipulate it.
I have also realised that the devices that I am drawn to and that I use have an analogue nature to them as opposed to a more up-to-date digital quality. Without realising it until now I am somewhat conforming to ‘outdated’ styles of working when you consider the technological developments of this age. But something about the manual nature of creating text and images seems more personal, and more relevant than any digital application. Yet on the flip-side of this I would like to think that I am developing these ‘old’ methods in a contemporary context where I am stretching the limits of outputs and blurring the boundaries between individual disciplines.
