Tobias Madison

CD-Scan

2010

A digitally reproduced image derived from the scanning of a compact disc, capturing the reflective, iridescent surface of the medium itself as subject matter. Madison's work collapses the boundary between tool and artwork, turning the mundane act of reproduction into a gesture of self-referential inquiry. The resulting image oscillates between document and object, inviting reflection on the nature of digital reproduction and material presence.
