I like having coffee with my friend Paul, but haven’t managed to do so for years now. In 2005, I made a low resolution grayscale image of Paul by constructing a grid of variably creamed cups of coffee. Up close, you can’t recognize Paul in the rows and columns of coffee cups. But from an out-of-focus surveillance camera above, you can see Paul’s face on a nearby monitor. This early piece playfully examines the pitfalls of “the digital” and the return of recognizability through the analog artifact of blur.
