The ‘clone stamp tool’ in Photoshop software copies an area of an image onto another area of image in order to remove unwanted elements; it metaphors the recursion and circulating process of ‘worlding’ the image.The Microsoft default wallpaper ‘Bliss’ was a photo on film taken by photographer Charles O’Rear using a medium-format Mamiya RZ67, and its original film was sent in person by airplane in order to deliver to Microsoft, digitizing as the most popular default wallpaper, the material film went virus through multiple digital screens, shining behind layering windows. The interference pattern in the sky, whether it was a bird, an airplane, or a presence of an interference pattern on ‘a photograph of a photograph’ recorded the material reality of ‘copying’, opening the threshold of the digital world and reality surface. The ‘clone stamp tool’ is like the visualized version of the ‘recursivity’ (Hui,2019) of the cybernetics system performs the mediation of the image itself. How are we constantly beng involved in the inside ‘worlding’?
