Adam Griffins
after talking to Dominique about this research project she happened to know Adam griffins, who I had been researching originally. She has put me into contact with him so I need to just think of some questions to ask him.
Adam stumbled across the automated curation process by mistake. 'It stems from a lot of research I was doing in terms of our very contemporary, millennial attitudes towards collecting online imagery, be it through Tumblr, Pinterest or generally just saving and hoarding into folders and files.'
His work to me resembles the idea of chance this was a key focus of my research.
Relik is a publication created from “documenting a collection of automatic collages formed by negative voids left from bygone collages” explaining “These remains and absent spaces create a window into new serendipitous portraits and landscapes, emphasising and celebrating the art of chance.”
Interview topics
This sounds like a intresting project to ask about also: Research project, Terminal Sadness, for the past year aiming to explore “our attachment to the digital world while still having a human need for the tactile.” By appropriating “digital symbology and visual language off the screen” Adam questions how we use the digital age to inform graphic design into a physical output. By appropriating internet references “in the form of digital handkerchiefs, each produced at the same dimensions as an iMac screen, creating an eerie familiarity between the two states.”

Recommended The ‘DDDDoomed—Or, Collectors & Curators of the Image: A Brief Future History of the Image Aggregator’ by R. Gerald Nelson
very intresting to have alook a the influences.
'My influences change on the day to day, but some staple names on the proverbial dinner party list would certainly include the likes of Ikko Tanaka, Barney Bubbles, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Mitsuo Katsui, 8vo, Vaughan Oliver, Herbert Bayer and Rene Magritte. '
Unfortunatly I cant find this book anywhere. The ideas within the book seem very intresting with content and contect being thrown out the window for a more aesthicaly based culture of the online image.
DDDDoomed, crafted as a speculative fiction that unfolds from the perspective of a future commentator reflecting back and theorizing about the factors that brought about the dysfunctional state of the contemporary image world, tells the story of how the image (specifically, the online image) devolved in the hands of image aggregators (IAs).
IAs, as DDDDoomed asserts, in having “single-handedly pave[d] the way for a young and Internet-reliant culture’s collective disinterest in even the most essential content of an image,” have turned the image into an aimless one that is made intentionally devoid of its meaning, knowledge, and even of its most basic identifying information. Furthermore, it is argued that “by devaluing [the] image’s potency … IAs were effectively exaggerating the worth of their role by convincing the viewers of their websites that their assembled collection … was, paradoxically, to be the sole object of spectacle.”
Questions
How do you think our relationship to the image has changed in relation to new technology?
What is the rational behind your work?
How much does the idea of chance play into your work?
Do you have a list of sources that could possible help me?

How do you think space interacts with the curation process?
What was your inspiration for tansient space?
Does an image loss meaning when we take it out of context of does it create its own new meaning?
What are your thoughts of open sourcing content?
Feedback
Dominque
After speaking to dominque she helped me pin down what I am intresting in most these are
Chance : what happens when the process is out of our control such as scanners glitch, tumblr layouts, re feeding back, chance operations
How our relationship to the image has changed since new technologies have been introduced
The use of chance in curation
How we receive content in relation to its space, does this differ from phone to print
The idea of archiving
Where our content is coming from how algoryms are feeding us.

Online Archiving
Experimenting
Processing
An open source tool used to visualise code this is a great way to learn some basics about code while having some fun. After reading a few of the tutorials they suggesting learning from playing around with the examples library. I wondered if it is possible to use this as a way to generate random layouts possible?
