Day 76: Copy of a Copy

Every reproduction loses information. Photocopy a photocopy ten times and the image becomes high-contrast, grainy and strange. Degradation can be a technique: it adds history and texture and can turn an ordinary image into something haunting.

Objective. Use generational degradation as a creative technique.

Copy, scan, screenshot or compress an image at least ten times in a row, and use the result in a poster for a punk gig.

• At least ten generations of copying
• Keep each generation to show progression
• Use one or more generations in the poster

• Visible generational degradation
• A thoughtful selection of generation
• Appropriate energy for the gig

Degrade the type as well as the image.
