Conceptual Framework
Interfascze — A visual research system developed since 1995, investigating how artificial environments structure perception and, through it, shape cognition, identity, and behavior. It articulates three interrelated dimensions of the photographic image: Fase (material trace), Face (surface and code) and Faze (transsubjective system).
