Dan Holdsworth

[Black Pearl]

I was lucky to be a part of this exhibition by Dan Holdsworth a little while back but never got round to sharing the images or the story.

 

These look like gigantic landscape photographs but they aren't - they are made from number crunching aerial imaging data to produce a representation of the environment - the paper stack is filled with millions and millions of numbers that together create the images you see on the walls. When you stood back they looked 'real' but as you got closer you could see the scan lines and data points making each image. 

 

Fascinating and somehow rather beautiful.

 

 

Link and final images credited to 4130 (my mate) but I did have a hand in them :-)

Did you manage any close-ups that show the numbers and data etc?

I didn't as I was there as a camera/lighting assistant so was limited in what I could shoot - also this was before the exhibition opened to the public so Dan was nervous of any shots getting out early.
