Images from my Monitor Tracings series. After performing Google Image
searches for headphones, telephones, radios, and similar objects, the
images are traced directly off the computer monitor, onto office paper,
using a mechanical pencil. The search results indexed highlight the objects
we choose to recall, our means of organizing them, and the visual rhetoric
of these products’ presentation. Meanwhile, the computer monitor replaces
the camera obscura, overhead projector, and other mechanical devices
previously used to assist in drawing.
