Further details: This artwork has taken months of work, with many tests rejected, and many many more cups of coffee consumed. 

Early on, the decision was taken to apply sheets of copper leaf to the metal slider on the image. This process presented a whole host of challenges, not least because copper leaf is often far harder to work with than other metals. Not only does this need to be applied by hand, but it also requires sealing to allow further printing, and prevent long-term corrosion (The Statue of Liberty wasn't always green). Since parts of this process are done by hand, it means each image is slightly different, and thus unique.

The process, involving a whopping 18 separate layers of colour, became far more involved than intended. However, we agree with the team that the extra work has been more than worth it! In person, it is a beautiful print to behold. 

Message from the artist: "The way we communicate with technology has changed dramatically since the early days of computer science: flipping switches, plugging wires into patch bays and even dealing with pieces of hole-punched cardboard. Yet now we see kids instructing their devices as if in an episode of Star Trek.

And this for me is the exquisite symmetry of technology. At the heart of any computer system is binary - the simple 1’s and 0’s that operate our processors. The almost infinite combinations of these form the basis of all modern computing. 

It’s a foundation of elegant simplicity. And layered on top of this is a deep complexity. Machine code, high-level, and object-oriented programming languages… everything that makes computers actually run. And above all? The desire to make them as easy to use as possible. 

From simplicity through complexity, and back to simplicity once again. It is in this symmetry that I find profound beauty.

One company that's done more than almost any other to forward naturalistic interaction with technology is Apple. 

This artwork is my homage to the finely-tuned balance that exists between the simplicity and complexity that underpins the modern world. And it is also a nod to a company I respect for helping bring about this balance."
