Catch and Release, is an installation that began from a butterfly specimen taken from the Philippines and found in the digital archives of Yale University.
The monitor on the bottom contains the original image repeating and moving across the screen through the vertical hold control function of the monitor. The movement of the butterfly across the screen synchronizes to the static on the radio due to frequency disruptions from the monitor. The same butterfly has been digitally mapped onto a three dimensional form in order to create the animated butterflies on the LCD screen. A snake plant is wrapped in an image of the jungle floor.
