Lightbox

For the lightbox project I was, once again, thinking about the internet. I was interested in further exploring what I like to call the "low-res aesthetic of the internet age". I used a photograph of the stars that I took over the summer and attempted to "shitify" it by lowering the quality so much that it was barely able to be seen as stars anymore. In my mind, it looked a lot better than what actually turned out. When placed in the lightbox it just looked like someone had scanned a black page on a dusty scanner. I think in hindsight I maybe should have used a different image but perhaps the unexpected outcome further adds to what I was trying to do with this piece.
