Qualities of Focus

The genre of this pictorial is photographs as primary content. All of the images are deliberately and extremely out of focus, creating a puzzle for the viewer. The implications of this work are considered in terms of the images themselves, boundaries and balance in pictorials, politics and cognition, and technology. Qualities of focus in images--from everywhere in focus to selective to everywhere out of focus--are discussed as a technique and material quality of interaction design.
