mycarboncredits
1838 jpg files, 2010
mycarboncredits is a series of 1,838 image files. Each represents one tree. Photographs of the trees, one by one, were burnt on separate compact discs. They become visible as a ring at the CD’s center. The image data’s iridescent traces are photographed close-up, resulting in macroscopic pictures that distill the portrayed trees into abstract color gradients. Named after the actual trees they represent, the individual digital form of the images allow each tree to be traced and localized in its digital material footprint.
