A Replica of Infinity
MICHAEL RIGLEY, ONGOING
DIGITAL PAINTING | TIME-BASED WORKS | FORMAL STUDY
Overview
A Replica of Infinity is an ongoing body of work examining how meaning, identity, and memory emerge from incomplete information over time. The project treats digital imagery as a system shaped by repetition and loss, with resolution functioning as a compositional tool. Legibility wavers, with images approaching and receding from recognition, yet retaining the instability of memory.
SELECTED WORKS
01. It Was Quiet for a While

Replica: Fragments
Replica: Fragments is a series of studies serving as the conceptual and technical foundation of A Replica of Infinity. The works examine resolution as a digital counterpart to gesture, using partial information and degradation as primary compositional tools in portraiture, landscape, and still life.
Forms emerge, dissolve, and recombine, occupying a space between recognition and abstraction. Abstraction itself functions as a mechanism for interpretation, allowing meaning to form through ambiguity. Each fragment reflects a moment where identity and memory are assembled from incomplete inputs.
