Time Control Test (1200DPI), 2021

AIR 2021

Inkjet print on paper
8 × 10 Inches

It's a game I set up with a scanner, a sheet of paper and a clock. I cut three windows into the sheet of paper and place it on a scanner, then, I move the clock across the three windows just in time for the scanner to capture it's whole shape. As the scanner increases or decreases in resolution, it moves faster or slower, so it gets more or less difficult to play.

This print is available only from September 17th - December 7th, 2026. After this date, this image will not be made available in this format again.

Max Guy

I am an interdisciplinary artist who makes and primarily works with video, installations, cutouts, collages, photography, and sculpture. I seek fast and ergonomic making, incorporating objects into harmonious and novel arrangements. Paper is my favorite material, so I treat everything else like it. I structure my very experimental (sometimes compulsive) art practice by organizing my work into distinct projects. My breadth of work is eclectic—each piece approaches a topic only tangentially. It led me to group my results into specific installations, creating exhibitions that read like essays and fictional narratives.

Thoughts on the lab

While I'd never considered myself a photographer I do tend to take many photographs and use light sensors and lenses experimentally... The Latitude residency gave me the confidence to consider my scanner experiments as something to print.
