The process of color inversion that is utilized in this
painting is to distance us from how our eyes really work. The way the color scheme is achieved is
through a technological intervention in the image, this intervention mimics
human intervention into the landscape, both use technological means. It is
similar to the notions in science, that to be able to perceive something you inevitably
end up changing it. For example, the land surveyor that is depicted in the
lower left-hand corner, cannot access this area to see it and record it without
roads and infrastructure that alters the landscape, therefore, changing it.
