Entropy: A natural condition of the physical universe wherein all things continuously move toward greater disorder.
After a catastrophic computer crash, Angela Faris Belt ran a recovery program which (mis)-interpreted her own digital landscape images. The corrupted files unearthed the landscapes’ digital building blocks, deconstructing them into visible components of content and process.
