This piece was done for an online exhibit for Add Art, and curated by Paddy Johnson. Add Art is a firefox extension that replaces online advertisement with new artworks. For my piece, I took the text of the ten greatest English novels ( according to the American Library Association ) compressed each book's text into a single image and used each image as one frame in an animated GIF. This created a typographic noise reminiscent of television static.

Through this piece I was trying to explore the nature of the internet as a compressed information space and how any incidental content is reduced to visual noise regardless of content. Link to show
