A cloud: thing and atmosphere at once
What happens when the void becomes the image?
+
There but not there, pixel array made of pixel array.
+
Like the contents of the internet, it is content and void at once. It is immaterial, manifested before you on (this screen) (here and now), but really where is it? Nowhere of server space, reallocated, stranded, increasingly scarce…
Lost (WIFI) connection disappears the mirage. The image becomes itself: a series of encoded symbols.

You reach to grasp it with the fingers of your mind. Where is it? There. There, being a fact with feeble footprints.

For human eyes, the white and gray squares signify: they signify nothing. The nothingness of transparency.
+
The human eye perceives by detecting light. The human brain perceives in a way still not fully understand. Some theories say that the brain directly interprets the light detected. It is known that parts of what we are conscious of perceiving come from reconstructions—our brain filling in the gaps. This is called object permanence, or it is the way we can have frontal eyes, but perceive periphery. Some theories say that there is nothing direct about seeing; instead, the light we detect is combined with all the other images and waves of light we have ever perceived, measuring up against schemas. Habitual perceptions are what allow us to see at all, but they also limit and shape what we see.
For human eyes, the white and gray array makes something encoded legible. A computer needs no eyes, never looks at an image. It does something unlike looking, of which we as humans can only see the shadows on the wall. Transparency is a parameter. For humans, it is a concept.
