DCT:SYPHONING. The 64th Interval. A Walkthrough through the DiMoDA install.

DCT: SYPHONING. The 1000000th interval, 2016 for DiMoDA VR for Oculus Rift DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) has been around since 1973, but only became widely implemented in 1992, when the JPEG image compression technology started using it as a core component. While the DCT algorithm lies at the basis of the omnipresent image compression algorithm JPEG, knowledge of how the algorithm works, is uncommon. Even less people are aware of the history and circumstances that lead to the development of the popular algorithm - DCT compression was tried, tested and optimised on the skin of a naked, white lady. In DCT:SYPHONING, DCT narrates how DCT Junior runs a first Syphon on its 64th interval; a transcoding trip through the different ecologies of image field complexity. Together, they Syphon from the macroblocks (the realm in which they normally resonate), to dither, lines and the more complex realms of wavelets and vectors. In In DCT:SYPHONING, DCT Senior logs how junior reacts to old compression
