TRANSVERSAL TRACE
Intelity: #14, C-type matte photograph by Maximilian Tomozei (2015), showing a closeup view of a scratched and degraded electronic security chip. The piece highlights a transversal site between a physical trace and the trace of digital identity as stored in or via the chip. http://www.tomozei.com/intelity/
0h!m1gas, an audiovisual installation with a plexibox housed ant colony, turntables, audio, camera, monitor, variable dimensions, by Kuai Shen (2012). The work shows an example of transversal media practice as something more than ‘multi,’ ‘convergent’ or ‘mixed’ media in that new, bizarre or experimental channels of signal feedback between disparate spheres of communication are facilitated for new knowledge. In this case, nature and technology are ‘connected’ allowing feedback between ant colonies and a media artefact (turntable). http://kuaishen.tv/0hm1gas/
Computerwelt: MOTOROLA 68030, analogue 8x10 format film scan photograph by Christoph Morlinghaus (2015), showing an extreme close-up and long exposure of a Motorola 68030 microprocessor. The image production relies on an analogue photographic process to capture the physical intricacies of a digital signal processor. https://www.wired.com/2016/08/extreme-closeup-computer-hardware-looks-like-tiny-cities/
