Through small acts of customisation in the photographic realm, RESIDUES OF CUSTOMISATION contemplates the behaviour of advancement in the digital age.
My practice explores a digital age where the remix, a regeneration of information, becomes default and acts of customisation become rewarding. Drawing on the manner in which Big Tech presents devices saturated with customisable preferences, I question how habitual acts of personalisation may dilute the strength of the decision, the fact or the finish.
Hosted by a photographic practice, my enquiry utilises the fluidity of the analogue image and considers how it may accumulate audible and three-dimensional qualities through regeneration. I loosen up the construct of the photographic darkroom, trading out the safety of the red light for a techie blue-light brightness.
RESIDUES OF CUSTOMISATION imagines the character of the remix as one that erases the guilt of indecision, with customisation as reward.
