— The combined and unusual use of multiple electronic devices triggers a special feedback mechanism that experiences with the production of a series of images inside a cathode ray screen.

“A photograph is, visually, ‘high definition’. […] The TV image is visually low in data. The TV image is not a still shot. It is not photo in any sense, hut a ceaselessly forming contour of things limned by the scanning-finger.”
(M. McLuhan)
The combined and unusual use of multiple electronic devices triggers a special feedback mechanism that experiences with the production of a series of images inside a cathode ray screen. If the television medium sends back its own message, photography is no longer the reflection of an objective reality, but it's the trace of this reflection.
These accidentally generated images, without any related foundation to common visual habits, are identified in a different context from the one usually represented and perceived, where there is nothing left to see.
From the signs of a recursive producibility the nothingness aesthetic emerges, a kind of neo-symbolism of absence revealing the nonsense of a mise en abyme reality.
