Flickr-ing

A Form of digital concrete poetry. The visuals were derived by constantly looping through (every 60 seconds) the latest upload to the Flickr.com global public feed. The resulting data was plotted on to a portrait canvas and constantly plotted over the previous result a kin to digital screen printing .
The outputs we’re limited to varying exposures in order experiment with the aesthetic of the visuals. You can read into the contents and derive your own narratives. Like Sophie Calle’s ‘Address Book’, it’s sort of private detective work, where you construct your own narrative within the image or view them as Wienghart esque, constructed type-as-image, where the composition is a typographic representation of negative space.
