〈Strange Interface〉 connects the boundary between physical and digital media in a new way — an ongoing work that devises strange visual instruments through which the human body and the system come into relation. Through an interface of a new kind, it expands the possibilities of the medium.

The top edge of an aluminium cabinet lettered décalcomanie in mirrored outline, ink-blot shapes printed on its dark surface, knurled slider knobs along the front, a stack of cards catching the light.
The word is set mirrored across the fold, the way the blot is.
The single channel display photographed close: a coarse dither pattern in which shelved objects and a dark blot-like shape resolve out of black and white dots.
Single channel display, shot at the screen.
Another frame from the display: a symmetrical blot form rendered in dither, held in a bright rectangle above the lit base of the cabinet.
The blot returns on the screen, dithered.
The printed graphic: a symmetrical ink-blot form drawn in outline above a panel layout in which blot shapes and circles sit inside rectangular plates, the word décalcomanie mirrored across the centre.
