This series is part of an ongoing research on visual ways to dissolve pornographic imagery in abstraction and absurd.

For the Scrambled series, using video footage downloaded from Internet, I exploit the artifacts, errors, blurs inherent to heavy digital compression and incomplete files.

Dozens of snapshots are generated. Here, the creative process in itself rely on selecting the right images : identifiable as pornographic, but somehow deactivated.

Elegance is the attribute of being unusually effective and simple. It is frequently used as a standard of tastefulness, particularly in the areas of visual design, decoration, the sciences, and the esthetics of mathematics. Elegant things exhibit refined grace and dignified propriety.

=====

Some associate elegance with simplicity and consistency of design, focusing on the main or basic features of an object, its dignified gracefulness, or restrained beauty of style. One may also attribute elegance to place something in an opulent light—a in tasteful richness of design or ornamentation "the sumptuous elegance of the furnishings."

=====

The proof of a mathematical theorem is considered to have mathematical elegance if it is surprisingly simple yet effective and constructive; similarly, a computer program or algorithm is elegant if it uses a small amount of intuitive code to great effect.

=====

In engineering, a solution may be considered elegant if it uses a non-obvious method to produce a solution which is highly effective and simple. An elegant solution may solve multiple problems at once, especially problems not thought to be inter-related.

=====

In chemistry, chemists always look for elegance in formulations as well as effectiveness in dosage form design.

Visual stimuli are frequently considered elegant if a small number of colors and stimuli are used, emphasizing the remainder.

Nota Bene: I am not suicidal. xo

I bought this book of art from fellow Baltimore Flickie and deviantartist Lauren Simonutti.

The subtitle is, "31 visual attempts at a justification for suicide".

The word "justification" could possibly be misconstrued as advocation. It is not. Rather, it is a visual post-hoc exploration of wordless, unexplained self-termination, realized in iconic photography.

"Fewer than twenty percent of suicides leave a note"

These are Lauren’s visualizations of those silences.

Pages on the left quote the forensic determination of the incident. Pages on the right are Lauren’s photographic interpretation.

I have always been intrigued by the challenge of taking an idea, or a concept, or a mood, or a written passage, and representing it photographically, in a single image.

"She had taken off her hat and put it on the table" – Ernest Hemingway, "Hills Like White Elephants"

It’s a real challenge to portray that in a single image and deliver the full intent and meaning of the tableau. I think it can be done, if you’re good. Lauren chose 31 brief forensic reports and turned them into astonishing original photographs.

Lauren rejected some of her photos for particular cases because they were too coarse – a forearm with knife slashes, for example – when it could be expressed much more subtly by a piece of clothing, or a ring, or an ostensibly ordinary object. There are no wounds or blood in "drowning, not waving" – her photos are much more symbolic. I think it’s the subtlety of the photos that make it an extraordinary work.

Lauren does all her photography using large format film, and develops it in her own darkroom. It should be noted that she has nothing against digital photography, it’s just that film and chemicals are her chosen medium.

The construction of this work has also aided in Lauren’s personal development — but it’s probably best to let her explain that in her own words, in her book and in her blogs, so I shall not here.

Afterword:
I hope I’ve explained this book well. This book is not "fun" or "entertainment". This book is not for everyone.

Where do Mumbaikars find privacy in their city? The KRVIA Design Cell talked about their findings from the Mapping Privacy in Public Space research project, conducted through the Lab’s run. They discussed their methodology and their experience in data collection across the Lab’s six sites, and shared the visual imagery and maps they created from their research from over 200 participants.
