Examples of work from two recent sequences of practical research will provide previous production with conceptual and technical coordinates. The works are intended to reflect each other. Each might seem to propose a question in response to an answer that another holds. A Talent, or a Nanogold tinted mirror, is also planned for inclusion.
The link running through these works is colour. For Scott, a colour is a four-fold structure that combines mathematical, emotional, discursive, and physical (or neuro-psychological) references. Even more precisely, a colour is ink, ideation and emotion, and physical reality. Pixels are the strokes that connect these threads. A pixel is a packet of information that can cross back and forth on an absent threshold that divides immaterials (the math, computing) from the colours that we feel and imagine consciously. But the subject of the work is neither math nor feeling. It occurs as a kind of circulation, and a struggle to relate these diverging poles.
