Abstract

I develop a technique for the manipulation and production of images using a rule based on the identification of inverses under multiplication modulo a prime number. This method allows for the production of images that repurpose the information of the original images in visually compelling ways, and by varying the parameters of the method, an array of different visual effects can be achieved. We explore the kinds of images that can result, as a way to understand some of the aesthetic impacts of this new item in an artist’s toolkit.
