Iteration 4 As my 4th iteration, i decided to take a different approach and took an extract from my favourite book - my sister's keeper and translate some words into emoji as erasure of words and alphabets. I found this experiment quite interesting as the frequencies of smartphone users replace words with emoji in their day to day conversation. This experiment was influenced by Xu Bing as one of his work is a story only using symbols and action figure.

Iteration #4

Experiment: Inverting iteration #2  By omitting the person, and blocking them out (by means of photoshop) I've tried to erase myself from the virtual experience. But I think, just as obvious as that grey blob, we can't truly omit them. I've documented a point in time, where I've added to the piece rather than subtract.

And by iterating this, I think I've discovered that the line between a documentation of reality and hyperreality is really blurred.  When we look at the picture, are we convinced of its existence by the countless times we've seen it on google. Or by the visitation to the place? Or is it really through documentation (and copies of the place) that our experiences are real and are therefore valid?

Thought process

I've now come to a point, where I'm struggling to continue further from the ideas of Baudrillard. So i'm now looking at the different angles of what documentation entails - which leads me into the notion of omission. Omitting is just as vital and significant as adding. 

I realised that as I documented my iterations, I've been careful constructing them. Curating them in a way that omits the ideas that don't demonstrate or are irrelevant to my concept. So I've decided to document them as my fourth iteration.  I think that while documentation is all about keeping evidence as a record, it is also all about what you've left out.
