Data as Culture - Art that uses data as a material

CIPHER presents a semi-translucent female figure emerging from a horizonless digital space. Her body is made up of the same morphing pattern as her surrounds, which Beales generated using a variation of Google’s DeepDream software. CIPHER interrupts our thoughts and plays on our mind but her true purpose remains hidden.
