At the core of every digital image lies a code—a sequence of letters and numbers that constructs what we see on the screen. Text Textures embraces this fundamental truth, revealing the underlying language of the digital world by overlaying ASCII text images onto 3D models and decoding this code into audio through Google Translate. In this process, text becomes texture, while the hidden codes are audibly translated, transforming the invisible language of code into a visible, audible, and textured surface.
By merging these elements—text, 3D form, and sound—the work dismantles the illusion of digital smoothness, emphasizing that all digital images are, at their core, strings of information. Each letter, number, and symbol in the text becomes a building block, shaping both the surface and meaning of the object. The audible decoding adds an extra layer of experience, bridging the visual and auditory senses, and making the digital realm perceptible in multiple dimensions.
