Distillation by Retort

Abstract

The printing of images, like the rendering of images, emanates heat. The ink printed on this page is an image of an object. It is an image that has been produced by the translation of points on a 3-D model into raster data that appears to the eyes as pixels, converted from ones and zeros to the RGB color scale from one to 255. Corresponding inks are then mechanically mixed and applied to paper as an artifact that distills an idea and an operation.
