Framed digital C-prints
Sexting consists of large but extremely low-resolution enlargements of graphic images shared over the internet through the course of my recent dating experiences. The digital C-prints are all 30” x 36”, resolution 8 pixels x 10 pixels. (Each pixel is about 3.25” square.)
From a distance, it’s almost possible to make out what’s being described, but as the viewer is drawn closer, the images fall apart into pixelated near-abstract grids of colored squares. The titles titillate: Rob in His Bath; A Little More of Me; Tented Speedos; etc… but like the process of seeking intimacy on the internet, the viewer’s titillation is ultimately frustrated by the experience of trying to give form to one’s imagination.
