Second side (front/back) of the piece.

Double-weave structure woven with two wefts: light purple and medium grey 2/8 cotton. This is the first piece in a series translating poor-quality video screenshots into abstract weavings. The text is taken in fragments from Hito Steyerl's essay, In Defense of the Poor Image. 
"a copy in motion. [...] quality is bad, its resolution substandard. [...] a ghost of an image, a preview, a thumbnail, an errant idea, an itinerant image distributed for free, squeezed through slow digital connections, compressed, reproduced, ripped, remixed, copied and pasted into other channels of distribution."
