Permeability, Life, Human, Love




In these images, the idea is to apply an arithmatic progression to a word in a Google search that determines the outcome of the image, and ultimately determines the treatment of the image in the photoshopping process. In Permeability for instance I took the numerical value of the word, which is 135 if A is 1 and Z is 26. Then I added 1, 3 and 5 to get 9. Finally I divided 135 by nine to get fifteen. Then I did a google image search and took the 9th, 15th and 135th image in the search. In the case of Permeability, I duplicated the fiteenth image 135 times and duplicated the 135th image 15 times. Continuing with the system, every gradient mask or photoshop technique I applied was dictated by the system, plugging in these sums into every process. The text in all the pieces also equals one of the three sums and every piece was formed in the same way.
