Nora Papp

1975, Switzerland

Nora Papp's starting point for this work during her studies was the 'Instagram'- application for smartphones. She uses the deconstruction of a digital image to collect 'aesthetic data’.

Any digital image is divisible in luminosity, flatness and layers, brightness, contrast, structure, warmth, saturation, colour, highlights, sharpness, production and reproduction, dissemination, storage.

The choice to combine or to apply these elements in a certain manner, and simultaneously to list the values that she considers artistically significant, creates a new image.

For this work, she uses the Illustrator program of the Adobe image software. Where she applies the data that she collected through the posted Instagram-images.
