Artist Statement
What is the Internet made of? Can you print the Internet? Can you cut it with scissors and splice the pieces together? What is the remainder of a printed Internet? What is the relationship between dots and pixels - is a dot the ghost of a pixel, is the ink the skeleton of light, or the other way around? Is a greyscale Internet possible? What is the fate of the collage and its approximation in the age of magic wands and wizard-aided image editing? Scanology produces answers to these kind of questions through extemporary and ephemeral collages obtained with the manipulation of low quality prints around the scan head's serial sweep. Grinding memeologies through a printer and a scanner.
