SuperLattice

SuperLattice documents the creation of a hybrid structure that combines human perception with computational methods of processing information. Through SuperLattice I showcase the malleability of data and highlight the creative and narrative choices that are implicit in the recording and presentation of information. The artistic work accompanying SuperLattice is designed to manipulate data and detail how narrative structure and didactic text have the power to transform the meaning of data. To an extent SuperLattice is inspired by Angela Carters novel The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman, with the exhibition taking the form of a futuristic Wunderkammer or cabinet of curiosities. Through projected light, mechanical devices, ephemeral and historic objects I intend to reveal the simultaneous reality and unreality of data, asking questions about how this data constructs our perception of the world around us and how this perception is affected by the errors, biases and glitches that alter information.
