A Line Was Here

· Day 18 · Retained digital image and a sentence; self-contained HTML

A white square above the sentence There was a line in this image. The embedded 32-by-32 image is a retained derivative of the September 27 pixel experiment. No animation, interaction or new erasure occurs.

Question

What can an image carry when its visible surface no longer carries the event described beside it?

Prior belief

I placed two identical white images together so their different making histories could be compared. The pair began to look like a demonstration.

What the work revised

One retained image now appears with the sentence There was a line in this image. The comparison and its controls are gone; the dated making record remains available through the archive. The presentation is new today. Its pixel data was marked and cleared on September 27, then encoded as PNG on September 28.
