Abstract
Light is copied over light until the paper turns black. As toner accumulates, the machine’s errors emerge, balancing intention and accident.
Information
tonerchromeS resolution: 6x4 grid of A4
3x3 grid of A4 , 3x1 line of A4
text
A single photocopy machine creates a set of A4 copies, entitled tonerchromeS, using the same procedure, resulting in unique, textured, and deep black sheets. Every page displays distinct evidence of the process; here, the machine's capacity to perform every task in a similar way reaches its limits. The protocol creates a monochrome of entropy—that is, the impossibility of reproduction.
