Discrete Model 021

Discrete Model 021 is part of a series of collages that refer to the history and logics of computer programming; reflecting on human history in relation to technology, and a post-human future. Here background and foreground collide, breaking down visual information from found imagery to restructure the content in a new way. The weaving element and inclusion of photographic images mirror Macuga’s machine-woven tapestry works. It also references British mathematician Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage's use of Jacquard weaving looms in the development of the Analytical Engine.
