Naming is not showing
For this essay on the limitations of image representation and reading systems, I have started with the photographic documentation of objects in the domestic environment that have the trace of use inscribed on their surfaces and then I have passed the result through artificial image reading programs. In this process, the images are labelled and assigned a series of data based on the programme's cumulative analysis of the pixels. Thus, the time inscribed on the tactile surfaces, lived, affected and worn out by their use, is unintelligible to the artificial reading algorithm (based on the logic of words).
The contrast between the two languages reveals a functioning in the fragment by both and gives rise to an interpretative continuity that is alien to both.
By feeding intelligent searches from images, the opening to a circuit plagued with technical-linguistic noise is checked. In this movement, various chains of meaning are re-verified (never better), without reaching meaning. Under this frequency distortion another open narrative appears where codes are mixed giving rise to chaotic formal representations based mostly on the information of surfaces.
As a conclusion, there is a gap between fragment and fragment, a discontinuity that marks the blind spot in the interstice in such a way that naming is not showing, nor is showing naming.
