Xerox Dust
Mollie Fabric
A naked body is xeroxed over and over until its image degrades into the dust of digital compression artifacts. This degradation is caused by the compression of visual data as the antiquated (low resolution) xerox tries to record and replicate as much information as possible from the original image, but is unable to accurately reproduce the image pixel for pixel.
On the micro level the pixels begin to morph into tiny island shapes, turning the body into some kind of imaginary micro landscape. On the macro level the body is first abstracted into geometric shapes and then blurs out into nothingness.
Xerox Dust was exhibited in the DXARTS Undergraduate Works in Progress Show at the School of Art Sandpoint in May 2008.
