Status
Status:: Finished
1. Operation data
Internal number: OB_023
Operational regime: Direct Material Intervention
Source image:
Operational description:
The image is printed with toner. It is submerged in a tray of water. Drops of ink are gradually added using a syringe -Magenta-Green-Yellow-Blue-Black- and the process is recorded.
2. Tools and procedure
Tools / medium:
- Toner-printed image
- Water and ink
- Container
3. Variables
Controlled variables:
- Colors and amount of water
- Type of print
Uncontrolled / accidental variables:
- Entropy of water with ink

6. Crisis and formal-perceptual reading
Where the crisis occurs and the operation affects the visual grammar of the image: shape, contour, color, figure/ground relationship, legibility, recognition, and support:
The crisis occurs with the ink floating in the water, covering and veiling the printed image at the bottom of the vessel, affecting its entire visual grammar, primarily color and the figure/ground relationship. With the black ink, the image becomes destabilized and begins to take on more contrast and pictorial richness.
7. Final evaluation and artistic reference
Operation notes / what I learned:
The recording of physical operations must take place in a controlled environment; that is, the light, reflection, and movement of the object must remain stable so as not to add disturbances to the recording when a scanner is not used.
