Fields
Fields
Rebeca Bollinger explores seemingly opposing forces: database systems that order digital information and the apparent randomness of such data found on the Internet. For her series of photos and videos entitled fields, Bollinger documented her environs daily over two years.
The process resulted in a huge repository of arbitrary images often captured by holding the digital camera at arm’s length and then shooting from various angles. The DVD fields (2001) presents a continuous scroll of images from this vast repository tiling hypnotically across the screen. In three accompanying photographs she arranges data from the archive according to colors and days of the week, creating compelling abstract compositions out of pixel-like bits.
