procedural steps not to open the black box
- Photograph with a medium format toy camera a ghostly landscape, preferably a queer one.
- Develop and digitize the film.
- Input one of the images into the beta-release of an image generation model. Edit by including prompts referencing witchcraft.
- Make a digital composite of the output and the original image.
- Turn into black and white and invert image to create a digital negative.
- Print on transparency paper.
- Coat watercolor paper with Part A and Part B of cyanotype emulsion (pre-coated paper or fabric are also acceptable for this step).
- Place negative on paper in between a piece of cardboard and a sheet of acrylic and clamp.
- Expose to UV light al gusto and rinse.
- Scan the resulting print and enlarge.
- Make an inkjet print on fabric.
