Artwork location: Germany
Here the earliest known photograph is the subject of a series in which analog photography is translated into alphanumeric signs by means of the digital code. “View from his study,” taken by Nicéphore Niépce in 1826, required an exposure time of presumably eight hours and could thus never correspond to the human gaze. This photograph was digitized, the information contained in the seven million bytes translated into alphanumeric signs and distributed over eight squares. The panels, unreadable for the human eye, represent the complete binary description of the oldest surviving photograph. The time of representation is thus transformed into the representation of information.
8 images: each 66 x 66 cm.

Presentation
His first artistic projects from the late 1970s focused on issues of photographic perception, and later on photo recycling, now also incorporating video. In the mid-1990s, he began exploring the use of digital, genetic and political codes. In his most recent works, he addresses the subject of water with extensive portraits of the Danube River and the megalopolis of Hong Kong. Müller-Pohle’s works have been widely published and exhibited and are included in numerous private and museum collections worldwide.
As a publisher, Müller-Pohle has edited the major works of the media philosopher Vilém Flusser, available today in the ten-volume Edition Flusser and including the seminal Philosophy of Photography, which has been translated into over 20 languages. In 2001, Müller-Pohle was awarded the European Photography Prize of the Reind M. De Vries Foundation.
He is the author of numerous texts on photo theory, among others on “Visualism”, and has been a visiting professor and lecturer at, among others, the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium, and Hong Kong Design Institute. His most recent project, Hong Kong Waters, was published by Kehrer Verlag and Asia One Books.
