It’s the usual story.  Boy meets pixel.  Boy realizes that he dislikes pixels.  Boy pulls pixels’ pigtails and claims they have cooties.  Years later, Boy realizes that pixels aren’t icky.  Boy pines for pixels.  Boy becomes smitten with pixel.  Boy and pixel fall in love, get married, and live happily every after.

Steven H Silberg’s love affair with the pixel started in 2003 while examining our interaction with computer data and the creative potential of data loss.  Through the exploration of the removal of pixels from the visual matrix as a metaphor for data loss, Silberg discovered the ability to create through the placement of pixels into a new visual matrix.

Silberg currently teaches photography at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Digital Imaging at Anne Arundel Community College, and electronic media at MICA.
