Mathematical calculations on topografical second order movments. Videostills from the project topografical second order movments are used as the starting point for decoding and recoding in mathematical calculations.That computing leads, if you would go on and on, to the dissolution of the starting point, you could say, to THE DISSOLUTION THROUGH SAMENESS IN EMPTINESS. Codes are procedures of deception. Take, for example, video compressing. On the one hand, one increasingly dissolves the picture by decreasing the image rate; then in a further procedure, one increases the empty spaces between the running images. One could say that the "nothingness" becomes more and more expanded. This deception procedure functions as long as our senses are able to refill these empty spaces, through procedures of mathematical construction. This kind of deceptive procedure is also applied, in a different way, to the coding of static images. Even if the observer doesn't see it, the computer is analysing information. In fine graduations or displacements, additional messages are interwoven with the actual graphical information. What primarily intersts me in the computer-generated images of bombellivariations, is the procedural methodology of approaching the intersection of decoding and recoding, i.e. The search for the paradox of the image. Since the dissolution and generation of image data merge into one another, defining the area of the intersection of decoding and recoding is a challenge that i am usually only equal to in the stance of passively negating a given formal entity. So the resulting image should manifest itself between these two open barriers, decoding and recoding. The method for arriving at the area of the intersection of the two coding groups can be equated with the procedurality of an "art machine". However,the final image result is a function of my state of being during the decision process.
