Xerox of a Xerox of a Xerox

Render in the visual register of an eighth-generation photocopy, the kind that has been duplicated repeatedly on increasingly contrast-pumped office Xerox machines until midtones have collapsed entirely into solid black or paper-white with no gradient between. Medium: pure binary black-and-white toner on copy paper, with characteristic generation-loss artifacts: chunky aliased edges, fragments of dust and hair from previous platen surfaces appearing as black hairs across the page, the occasional ghost of the previous copy showing through as a faint secondary image. Palette: paper white and toner black only, no greys at all. Texture: copy paper grain visible in the white regions, toner buildup at the dense black edges, the unmistakable look of a flyer that has been copied for the seventh community, the seventh band, the seventh action. Lighting: flat scanner light. Mood: the dignity of information that refused to die through seven hands of duplication, the testimony of survival, the cheap miracle of binary preservation. Do not render any legible text, headlines, slogans, logos, watermarks, named hate symbols, or defamatory likeness of real persons; all marks are abstract toner texture only. Preserve the subject, pose, and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering.
