Human / Computer is a series of manually generated portraits. Each sitter enters 10,000 digits between 0 and 9 into a custom software, each keypress setting the gray value of an single pixel in a 100x100 grid.
The sitter is given the aim of entering random values, but inevitably fails to enter true random values, resulting in visible and unique patterns in each image; a record of their labor and affective state during the process of production.
