NADA New York 2024

The “Stripe (50Hz)” is an iPhone abstraction dominated by perfectly machined verticals of various sizes and widths. Created via combinations of flickered light refraction (at a specific frequency used after the Fukushima accident) and specific color, the images mix hard-edged geometries with softer flares and blurs. Each image is accompanied by a dense compendium of data, including technical information (in both English and Japanese), news headlines from its moment of creation, and GPS information of its exact location, adding a layer of unwieldy context/memory to an otherwise sleek package.

* The British Museum has acquired five works from the series, including this piece, as part of their permanent collection
