The images encountered in the contemporary world are multiple; they are animate artifacts, endlessly duplicating and translating so as to shift their constitution over time. At once, they act as intercessors, translating between pictorial,material, and informational realms. Architects have a long history of dealing with the translation of information from images to objects through architectural drawing, making architecture well-suited for staging discourse surrounding images. While contemporary images are radically different from orthography, their potential as translations runs parallel to that of drawing. Rather than sequester digital imaging, this paper seeks to examine the cross-contaminated worlds of multiple image types.
