Digital imagery represents binary notation as pure surface. In this sense, a desktop icon such as the file folder doesn't appear as likeness; what you see isn't what you see. What the icon pictures remains invisible, whether it's the image the file contains, or, more pointedly, the coded sequences upon which computational space is built. Painting, shown in its relationship to these structures, presents what's left of the tangible limit of its practice. Its emptiness pictures energy, and nothing else.
