Bahmanipour’s practice concerns collecting and decontextualizing diagrammatic imagery to create a new non-functional system or a system that consumes its own parts. Generated by the limitation imposed by the Iranian government on Internet access in Iran; since 2009, Bahmanipour has been interested in using non-political accessible images and diagrams from the World Wide Web, transforming and altering them into different visual forms of study in systematic non-functionality and stupidity.
