Artist Statement:

Kevin Day’s resuscitated algorithms is a series of photographic readymades resulting from the reformatting and retrieval of files in a digital camera. The process of resuscitation leaves a body of noise on the presumed seamlessness of data. While data functions by virtue of being the underlying invisible form, executed through the operations of algorithms, resuscitated algorithms seeks to emphasize the presence of the medium, insisting on a refusal of machinic representation and quantification.
