Unit 2 – Position through Iterating – week 2

Employing the method of the above image from last week, this week, I tried to use the different resolutions of the image cropped detail to form a delusive picture.

I use the picture I took as the original source, then I import it into the google search to see how much the outcome would be similar. Piece by piece, I cropped them into fragments and re-composite them to create the various resolution depth.

At first, I was using the photo I took. Later, I use those selfies that I was in front of the mirror or with my back to the sunlight. Used two ways to select the detail, one is to select manually, and one is to use a grid to help me decide. Then I put the collage into PS and use content-aware to see how the outcome would be genera further by the “machine”.

details select by grid

By employing those pictures that show I was taking the photo, the collages were being seen but also are seeing the audience. Together with one’s own photos and photos from the internet, aim to find the relationship between individual and society. The blur and clear parts of the collages also question the authenticity of the images.
