"L0SS" is an experimental photography project inspired by the interesting things that happen to JPEG files when they're repeatedly compressed or become corrupted. Each image in the series started with a digital photograph that I took, manipulated and iterated dozens of times to create the final product. My fascination with these glitches and other visual anomalies is what fueled this project.

A great example of what happens to a JPEG when repeatedly compressed is shown here in David Elliott's project "Generation Loss".

I've also been hugely inspired by Georg Fischer's amazing javascript experiments as well as the iPhone app Glitché.
