Fairchild Semiconductor | I6368GD904 [2008]
One of a series of works exploring imagery associated with unsolicited bulk email. The series has a particular focus on distressed imagery, recognisable fragments buried under clouds and strata of digital noise. ‘I6368GD904’ suggests a contemporary, found form of impressionism.
