I was creating my patch and playing around with different coordinates in the left side of the patch and I thought this tunnel effect fits well into the assignment’s theme of time shift because of its tunnel-like effect that is a little hypnotic at the same time. Every iteration of drawing a circle takes place after a second delay.

This is the second effect, by using the right side of the patch. It  creates concentric ovals that merge on the left side of the lcd. It also creates a different kind of hypnotic effect and the visual illusion of having a ‘<‘ pattern on the circle, due to the different spatial lengths between the circles.

This was actually taken at the Antelope Canyon where I could toy with my iPhone camera and filter to take photos at certain spots, that gave such illusion of being in a different environment. Without a proper frame of the surrounding rocks, I thought this was fitting to the assignment of making a signal be destroyed using a readymade system, since there is parallelism to how my original shot of the canyon already conceals some real features of the place, highlighting the “readymade” system of the nature’s erosion (and the way I chose to frame the canyon).

The readymade system I chose is called Pic Collage, an iOS App that allows the user to modify and apply filters to any picture. I applied a filter named Clyde over and over until no feature of the canyon was visible and even the desert-like features were no longer recognizable. It was fascinating how the tone and brightness of the original picture quickly faded away through the first few iterations. You can also see that this particular filter frames the picture with darker edges as they are the only remaining elements of the vanished image.
