Steganograms

2015
Each work consists of an image that has been encrypted with a text by means of digital steganography. The texts are encrypted into the images using software designed by my cousin Vincent Bismuth. His program allows me to make the encryption more or less visible, by altering more or less of the data of the image. Altering the data changes the colors of the pixels of the image, coloring an image with a text, transcoding a text as shifts in color of the mosaic pieces of an image. The images were shown along with the encrypted text, and in some cases, the original photograph. Here are images of some of these works. The encrypted text is the title of the image in question.
I'm not sure why but I'd rather show you shots without people in them for now, 2017
