Richard Bolam is a Sheffield-based artist who works with a range of media both new and traditional. He is particularly interested in repurposing and recycling existing and redundant technology.

This is the latest work in the ongoing HyperScape series of works exploring the relationships between order, chaos and human perception.

The installation comprises two obsolete, networked Macintosh Classic II computers, displaying the same ever changing symmetrical image. However, one computer is upright and one laid on its side.

If a horizontal line is drawn our brains assume it is a horizon and hence a landscape. If a vertical symmetry is detected we assume it is a figure.

This work continues to explore the confused relationship between what we see, what we expect to see and what our brains tells you that we are seeing. It seems that the images created are sometimes architectural, sometimes anthropomorphic, sometimes sexual and sometimes just random.

HyperScape works have been exhibited in Sheffield UK, and 3 different venues in Sweden.
