In this project, I played with the ways that we percieve space — how it is organized, what parts are relevant, how we interpret it — when we filter it through an archaeological sensibility and a precoccupation with raster data storage. I tried my best to avoid obvious comparisons and visual clichès, with limited success. My biggest problem was in thinking about the compartmentalization of information without reference to the idea of the grid: I had difficulty thinking outside of the box, in a very literal sense. However, I think I pushed this box-thinking in some interesting direections. Some of my grids were arbitrary impositions, others were pulled from the spatial organization of the subject itself. Some re-affirmed spatial systems, others intentionally broke them. My overall goal was to blur the distinctions between the 'real' and the artificial, the empirically recorded and the digitally manipulated, the material and the immaterial. Archaeology and raster-thinking proved to be helpful as filters that pulled these themes into relief, articulating with photogrpahy to form a particular mode of engagement with the world around us.
