This image came about as I was looking around my house (as usual) for ideas for a new machine. Looking out the window I saw that the pile of snow on one of the flower boxes looked like a load of bread. Bread is a very topical subject now since many people, locked down in their houses, have been obsessing over baking it…and even more so over sharing their images of the final product. So, I figure now its my turn.
All that was required was to change the colours of it and presto…there was a loaf of bread sitting right there on my porch rail. Of course, the question remained…how did it get there? Well clearly, I built a machine that baked bread both inside and outside your house! I envision this machine as kind of like an air conditioner. Its sits on your window sill but instead of making the inside colder it can make things on either the inside or outside hotter. This is the kind of leap of logic one can make living in a world where there are so many complex things that understanding becomes irrelevant. I noticed recently that commercials use the logic I have been using here on a regular basis. A popular cleaner advertisement showed someone spraying the cleaner on giant red pill shaped germs and, through the power of digitization, they all vanished! This image still deals with transparency but to push things a bit further I did something different. I went back to a more direct exploration of the concept of inside and outside…which, it is worth noting, is certainly there in an exploration of transparency. I therefore used the same technique to begin the creation of the machine as I used with my earlier image, Two Sides Away From My Front Door. Then, as I continued to edit the image, I made sure to emphasize the direct use of transparency within the composite of the machine. I also repurposed my plug coins from the Dirty Money image as some sort of radiation warning and included some wingdings letters which, for a change, I will share…it says “Danger Due to Fake Radiation.”
