"Satrom has essentially translated the architecture of the space with a program used for translating images into text. Using the artificial light taken from nighttime photographs of the walls of Gross's apartment as his map, Satrom translated the light-and-shadow pattern into text. His program output as standard keyboard characters the various light gradients in his source photos. The capital letter "X," for instance, produces a higher density of dark ink on the page than the rows of small-letter "c." These pages were then output onto rolls of paper that stretch floor to ceiling, perfectly matching the existing light in the room. Two intense spotlights from ceiling tracks are positioned right in the middle of the center rolls, producing an odd layering effect of light and light reproduced as text-based work on paper. I sat down with Satrom and Gross to discuss the work, scheduled to open this coming weekend."
