The German word “Auflösung” refers to both the resolution of an image, the technical term for its assembled constituents – digitally implemented: its amount of pixels – and to dissolution: of sugar in water, of people in laughter or tears, of objects or details merging with the background. The workshop Re/Dissolution aims to investigate this double meaning not as a coincidence but as a real connection between an increasingly greater resolution of an image with its high amount of pixels, promising a sharper image or a visual “higher definition,” and the dissolution in this very process where single pixels become less and less visible as they dissolve into millions of other pixels around them.
