MISUSE
the act of blending through computational tools
BLEND(ing)
in a normal application
a . to combine or mix so that the constituent parts are indistinguishable from each other b . to combine varieties to obtain a mixture of a particular character , quality , or consistency c . to form a unique mixture d . to merge into one or unite e . to create a harmonious effect or result
BLEND(ing)
in a misused or reinterpreted application
a . an unexpected blend is created by arranging a field of disparate images through their lack of heirarchy and controlled spacing , blend
( parts ) that , together — however
the individual parts are still distinguishable from the whole . b . by extrapolating isolated visual components from each study a
“ topography ”
or landscape
of the material is created . individual components are layered on top of each other to create a systematic ,
“ blended ”
heirarchy — however the individual components still retain integrity .
