These textiles by Phillip Stearns are a collection of woven and knit blankets produced using images generated from short circuited cameras as pattern sources. This work can be described as an intersection of art, philosophy, and science in search for new paths for inquiries into understanding the state of (macro)things.

An object advertised as a keepsake to cherish one’s memories now becomes a way to fashion corrupted memory, the cold logic of digital systems into a warm blanket,” says Stearns.
This project is related to the Year of the Glitch project and DCP Series of images produced with modified, obsolete Kodak digital cameras. ❚
