'In the Blink of an Eye' is a flat capture of a performative moment happening on the other side of the interface. During the brief moment a human blinks their eyes, about a tenth of a second, an average smartphone (iPhone 6) has been instructed to perform the very simple act of counting. The resulting file produced by the phone has been printed on 4 large panels in a font size barely readable.
Within the overwhelming display of numbers, patterns appear to grow like the intricate stone layers in mountains, forming landscapes emerging from the simple brute force of the processor. The letter-density of the different numbers is the cause for the emerging patterns. An 8 for example is darker than a 1. This effect has been deepened by adding a colour gradient to the density scale. The colour palettes have been harvested from photographs of different landscapes.
The other works in the series 'In the Blink of an Eye' covers a personal history of computers that marked important moments for Leegteās artistic life, the first being the Commodore 64, his first PC, the PC he made his first work on and his webserver.
