The Two Thousand Year Old Aesthetic, - 2012

In The Two Thousand Year Old Aesthetic passersby were invited to follow the algorithm:

Select RED
Take BLUE and stamp RED
Move RED to YELLOW
Select Number on YELLOW
Activate YELLOW
Wait for YELLOW to finish
Take toasted RED
Pin or Bin RED

I was interested in how an aesthetic can vary yet still be recognisable. I was keen to explore how images are the product of a culture and that their success is due to them being easily replicated.
