instagramed

The first component of my residency will be a series of images that were created using Instagram to apply filters to both a blank white and a blank black image that I created in Adobe Photoshop. I found myself interested in what exactly these preset filters were doing to our images. Some of the results are very noticeable and quite pleasing, while others are admittedly less so, and a few don't start to show until they are enlarged. For sake of completion I have included all of them. This portion of my project is really about questioning the authorship of work created by an individual and then altered by someone else. Is an Instagramed image still yours if you apply someone else's creative intentions to it, or is it now their's?
