A series of dynamic, networked artworks made in collaboration with Gottfried Jager, based on his seminal 1960s generative photographs. Jager’s images are ‘photographs of photography’, generated solely within the apparatus of the camera itself. His light images are convered into data images and complicated by extruding them into 3D space and placing them in a networked environment where they become contingent on the circumstances of their viewing. People inside and outside the building change the artworks through their views, with the data images manifesting back as light projections. Various errors and glitches came up in the process, which were not cleaned up and remain in the work. The works are currently on display at the Museum of the Moving Image, New York.
