EAT THE FEELING is a magazine which assembles a series of scanner-based photographs created by cutting, folding and digitally altering existing printed or on-line images. This manipulation process offers a personal and critical take on media consumption and identity. The manual marks and scanner traces create a distance between the image and its original promotional purpose.

BEN VIDA : SOFT SYSTEMS MUSIC
Edition of 50

Full color gatefold and broadside insert.
Soft Systems Music uses facial recognition software as a compositional tool to sonify the smile.
Vida then transforms the expressions of smiling actors into what he calls a "soft system”—a blend of the human and algorithmic, in which any subtle motion alters the composition.
This work debuted in his 2016 exhibition, [SMILE ON.] ... [PAUSE] ... [SMILE OFF.] and was later adapted to a live performance for E.S.P. TV's "Lifestyle Guru" event in 2017.
