Signal Drift
Abstract
PRAIRE SURREALISM On the northern plains, "drift" can mean snow reshaped by wind, seeds carried across fields, migratory patterns, shifting rivers, radio signals, data transmission, even the gradual movement of ideas across disciplines and communities. The word implies motion, adaption, and change without a fixed destination. Created using a flatbed scanner rather than a traditional camera, Signal Drift transforms a familiar imaging technology into a tool for artistic exploration. the resulting images blurs distinctions between observation and invention, producing luminous forms that evoke cellular structures, cosmic phenomena, digital signals, and flowing waterways simultaneously. Description: An abstracted scan of bubbles and colorful wavy reflections on a black background.
