Cathode Anatomy
May 6, 2026What it is about
A 1928 television schematic dragged into portraiture — capacitors holding the eye sockets, wiring falling as hair, a single red correction sitting on the page like a pulse. Blueprint blue on bone paper. It reads as a manual for a person who was never built.
How it was made
Wikimedia Commons schematic (public domain, 1928) recomposed as portrait via Gemini 2.5 Flash Image — Goicolea's quiet figuration, Saville's archival cool, Duchamp's mechanical body.
