Project:
Deficiency Patterns
Client:
Personal Project
Brief:
Exploration, Experimentation,
& Exploitation of
Representation Methods.
Format:
Web Media; Interactive OS X Application Developed in Max/MSP, Printed Materials
Description:
A major on-going personal project – it sparked off when experimenting with animated backgrounds on some HTML pages, I discovered a screen flicker effect, as shown on the left.
The flicker effect works only on LCD/TFT display units, with varying degrees of strength and does not happen at all on traditional CRT Displays.
The discovery of this phenomenon led me on to a journey exploring representation methods.
Representation, as I know it, is a fundamental basis in art, and so I would like to explore, experiment and exploit representation methods to create something new and unexpected, by creating a space which invokes the happening of accidents.
As a start, I built a website dedicated to this effect, and to serve as a platform to showcase my experiments and findings:

Phase 1 Experiments include:
1. LCD/TFT display flicker
2. Native Moiré on digital displays
3. Browser image size discrepancies
4. Greeked text
Phase 2 will continue the exploration, taking the project out of the digital domain, studying the borderline and possibilities in the grey areas, and challenge the existing methods of representation.
