1992, Colorcycling
256 sheet A4, laser print on tracing paper
| The Colorcycling books would not have been possible without a PC, and they show processes observed on the computer screen. To produce them, I reduced a colour spectrum of 256 to 100 shades of grey, meaning that 156 colour registers are not allocated. In Colorcycling, the colours rotate within the registers of the spectrum; in each case, they move on one register, and as soon as they have passed the end they are sent back to the beginning. Since the visual elements remain attributed to the different registers, the shade of colour alters with every step; due to the empty registers, the initial form appears fragmentary until the work has passed through a full cycle. |
