I scan a negative film which have exposure errors because the broken camera lens, and I get a picture of the speck of dust, which looks like a summer night starry sky. I dragged it into Photoshop to adjust the brightness and see if there is any object of imprinting, and I accidentally click on the selection tool, the speck of dust on the picture start to twinkling like real stars, so I get a artificial unnamed starry sky.

我掃描一張因為相機鏡頭壞了而曝光有異的菲林負片，得到一張星星點點布滿微塵的照片，一眼看去覺得有點像夏日夜晚的星空。我把它拖進Photoshop想調整亮度看看是否還有什麼物象的印跡，卻無意觸到點選功能，照片上的微塵像真的星星一樣閃動起來，於是我偶然地得到了一片人造的無名星空。
