Photoshop CS: 84 by 66 inches, 300 DPI, RGB, square pixels, default gradient "Russell's Rainbow" (turn transparency off), mousedown y=25180 x=15100, mouseup y=1400 x=6400, 2009
Created by executing the precise Photoshop commands described in its exhaustive title, this large-scale chromogenic print captures a single automated gradient sweep across a digital canvas. The work reduces the act of image-making to a set of reproducible technical instructions, transforming the software's default "Russell's Rainbow" gradient into a monumental, luminous arc of color. Mounted face-forward to Diasec, the print's slick, pristine surface reinforces the seamless, machine-generated quality of its origin.
