____scapes is a project based upon a ever-growing archive in constant reorganization, where thousands of digital files of landscape photographs of open spaces typical of late capitalism such as airports, yacht clubs, golf and shooting ranges; beaches, fields and private deserts; dumps, mines; ecological and hunting reserves; farms, grazing fields, and greenhouses; Energy plants; sports, military, police, firefighter training camps; are extracted from massive, free banks of public digital images using specific search terms.

   Basic Artificial Intelligence mechanisms accessible to the general public are applied to find  “similar” photographs, sort them according to theme, chromatic composition, size and geolocation. These collections are taxonomically organized according to their metadata and were later transformed into videos that flicker the still images for fractions of a second acting as a virtual multiple exposure.

   They are then transferred onto negative analog 120 film by projecting an LCD Beamer onto a modified square middle format camera film back.

   _____scapes takes the explicit presence of a visual horizon in the landscape photographic image as a basic element of composition and makes it the motif of the project, a horizontal line that divides the images into two parts, defined at a distance, but when approaching to them at it’s diminute scale –prints are not larger than 6 x 6 cm– we notice, diffuse patterns and gradients without particular acutance, nuances that have only become noticeable thanks to the recurrent superposition of flickering photographic images on fixed analog photosensitive material.
