colour fields

i project ive been working on sparsely for the last few months has been my 'colour fields' series. the aim is to show how a specific visual medium influences the information which it displays. to achieve this i photographed a CRT monitor displaying solid blocks of colour, and then blew up sections of the image to show how the monitor distorts the tone and brightness, and leaves bands in the image as it refreshes. other works in the series have looked at images taken of colours projected through a data prjector. the work has taken the form of slideshows and large format printouts. the aim is to suggest that the outlets which feed us information are not merely passively displaying it, but also altering it.

unfortunately to really get a good feel for the images, they have to be blown up quite large, so naturally this isnt the best context for them...
