Transmutation

Transmutation is an ongoing project that questions the value of the digital as an artifact of the digitized. Custom-build software modifies a computer file’s digital envelope, ‘tricking’ the computer into believing the file is another type. The audience thus sees music and hears images – re-categorizing and re-contextualizing the digital signs. The file retains its original meaning while taking on a wholly unrelated emotional and aesthetic experience – a digital poetic.
