1. Operation data
Internal number: OB_017
Operational regime: Capture and Materialization
Source image: Photograph
Operational description:
A glass of water is placed in front of the mobile phone camera to act as a filter and obstruction. The glass is gradually filled with water.
2. Tools and procedure
Tools / medium:
- Camera
- Glass
- Water
Technical procedure:
- The glass is gradually filled with water and photographs are taken.
3. Variables
Controlled variables:
- Amount of water
- Camera perspective
- Ambient light
Uncontrolled / accidental variables:
- Water reflection and the shapes of the glass.
- How the image deforms

6. Crisis and formal-perceptual reading
Main crisis: loss of recognition due to refraction and fragmentation of the contour.
The operation affects the visual grammar of the image: shape, contour, color, figure/ground relationship, legibility, recognition, and support:
the glass is already a filter that transforms the shape and the contour. both together mix the background with the shape and legibility is lost. the colors are maintained.
7. Final evaluation and artistic reference
Operation notes / what I learned:
It is a simple operation, and the transformation of the shape is similar to what an algorithm can achieve. It is difficult to control.
