Luca Cristiano's 'Bends' collection showcases the foray into circuit bent photography, a technique that pushes the boundaries of digital image-making. By manipulating the internal circuitry of cameras, Cristiano creates visually striking distortions that challenge our perception of digital imagery. This series explores the intersection of technology and artistic expression, inviting viewers to reconsider the nature of digital photography and embrace the beauty of controlled chaos. Through these circuit bent images, Cristiano offers a unique perspective on the digital medium, encouraging audiences to find art in the unexpected and appreciate the creative potential of technological imperfection.
