This is my recreation of a famous Thomas Demand photograph, called "Archive", in which he creates the illusion of an archive of cardboard boxes by building the entire scene out of cardboard. Although the image is quite simple and redundant in its form, especially for a modeling exercise, I focused on the subtlety of the image, with lighting and slight variation of placement. My piece is supposed to be redundant in a different way. Since the original is a play on what is real and what is constructed as a set, my objective was to make a set that was entirely fictional, only exists in numbers and code, and pass it off as a "real" image. To achieve certain variation without endless hours of moving each box, I used some simple code with the help of a fellow student Rick Gilliland, and applied a random generator to make subtle shifts in position and scale to the boxes.
