Description

James Bloom Contingent Process, 2025 PNG Depicted here is a deconstruction of James Bloom's process, transforming Gottfried Jäger's "light image" into digital "data image." Bloom first isolates the points of coloured light from their ground, He then imports the image as a light distribution mesh, where light intensity is converted into 3D digital form. Additionally, he derives the surface texture for the 3D object from Jäger’s photograph. Bloom points to the fact that digital conversion involves both transformation and loss, much as photographic capture introduces its own reductions. He describes an intermediate stage in which he alters the imagery and the rule set to foreground this instability. The altered forms seen across the work serve as markers of that process and make the underlying systems perceptible. Contingent Process is a process image from the creation of the public installation of James Bloom and Gottfried Jäger's Contingent (2025), exhibited on the Schlosser Media Wall at MoMI, November 28th, 2025-February 15th, 2026. Curated by Regina Harsanyi. Part of the Museum of the Moving Image and the Tezos Foundation partnership.
