🜁 Caption Ghosts // Shadow Echoes processzine.org / issue #00

These images began as mere byproducts. Sheets of paper used to shield a surface during the spray-painting of an aluminium backboard—now part of The Interpreter / Ezra terminal build, where they’ll serve as foundation for a moving LED matrix strip displaying subtitles, questions, and glitch-texted output.

But the residue left behind was something else: ☐ Crumpled folds evoking the cochlear spiral ☐ Greyscale gradients like noise static ☐ Spray and shade forming phantom landscapes ☐ Signal ghosts trapped in cellulose skin

There’s something about the accidental aura here—the overlooked artefacts of process becoming more evocative than the intended result. The folds look like ears mid-transmission. Or like terrain in a black-and-white dream. APD rendered on paper: meaning smudged, messages fractured, the ghost of interpretation made visible.

Thinking of using some of these as backdrops in Process Zine #00, or perhaps as inserts / glitch interludes / layering material for scanner resampling.
