This panel investigates the gap between the layered material logics of raster display, physical output, and data. Strategies are borrowed from photography or scenic design, employing faux materials and materiality located in computer hardware.

Image Fictions are not strictly fictional, but instead, push against and challenge concepts of fact, truth, and reality to reveal all the nuanced states of information and strangeness that exist in the everyday.

This panel privileges numerical data and is invested in defining aspects of measurement, quantity, and distribution and presenting information like labor, economy, information, and circulation that combine to produce the qualities of images. 

This panel confronts physical and virtual densities and quantities, scrutinizing the capability of architecture to confront a magnitude of information in the fusing of data and picture.
