The ‘gerund of touch’ seeks to destabilize the relationship between a photograph and the act of contemplating it. I created an original algorithm; called Quark.

Quark is the core of photographs that self-generate in random and unrepeatable transformations when someone gazes at them, and reset when the viewer stops looking at them. In these constantly evolving photographs, the relationship between memory and image disappears: the interactivity of the piece makes it impossible for the viewer to experience again what has been seen. The image does not have an identity relationship with its photographic reference, not even with itself: its appearance does not remain in time, it mutates randomly, thus denying the stability of the photographic image that tempts us to contemplate it as a memory image.
