Corrupt is a series of digital photographs that have been corrupted by randomly inserting personal confessions, computer code, and Australian popular culture references into the  image when opened in a text-based code editor.

When the digital files are subsequently re-opened as images the corruption manifests itself in unpredictable ways.

There is an element of chance in this process that is similar to the entropy found in natural  systems. In some respects, the images bring the abject (code) to the same level as the sublime  (nature), the grotesque next to the romantic. This could be seen as the two extremes of the nature / culture axis meeting each other.
