About the Journey to the Stars prints :

This series of prints explores a virtual journey to the stars entirely within the matrices of the computer. Starting with a standard photograph of a star, this is zoomed into as if we are traveling there. The resulting heavily pixelated image is then converted to curves and zoomed into again to reveal the sense that the computer makes of this transition. This process in effect reproduces the heavy magnification that astronomical procedures engage in during (for instance) the hunt for exo-planetary systems.
