Cachemash Studies (2012-2015)

Cachemashing is a glitch in Adobe Photoshop discovered by Hugh Manon and Daniel Temkin, where the programs image cache is randomly projected onto a truncated JPEG image. This glitch was found to be reliably evoked in older versions of Photoshop, particularly version 6.0. Basically the software detects a missing byte when opening an image and attempts to recreate the image based off whatever data is in its cache.

I came across Cachemashing on Tumblr and a helpful user hooked me up with the program. Presented here are Cachemash works made between 2012-2015. Some of these were printed for my first solo show in Easthampton, MA., one of which was acquired by the art collection at UniFIO in Ourinhos, Brazil, another went on to be published in TIME Magazine, a few pages before an in memoriam to Bowie.
