Accidental Intentions

This series explores the political weight of the "mistake." By processing digital photographs through a rudimentary Python script—randomizing, corrupting, and "glitching" the pixels—recognizable scenes are forced into volatile geometric arrangements of color and distortion. The subjects are mundane yet heavily loaded: an influencer at the beach, a product-laden container ship, Chinese Americans marching in NYC’s Pride Parade, and a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. These corrupted images serve as evidence of unintended consequences. They suggest a continuum—however massive—between a simple digital storage error and the inadvertent extinction of all life on earth. The work challenges our "mad dash" toward the future: a perpetual growth machine that prioritizes profit over people, feeds on our attention, and demands our rage, apathy, or ignorance to fuel "intelligent" technologies that even their creators don't fully understand.
