Photoghasts is a series of works exploring the ragged edges of image-making technologies. As digital cameras and Artificial Intelligence systems proliferate, we are entering a world in which we are asked to place our trust in driverless vehicles, facial recognition software and algorithmic medical imaging. As an artist and researcher working in art and Human-Computer Interaction, I am intrigued by the misunderstandings that machines make when they attempt to make sense of their surroundings.

Using digital photogrammetry techniques from architecture and archaeology, each piece is both an attempt to use machines to mimic the process of ‘traditional’ life drawing and a record of the ghosts and glitches that result.
