I work at the threshold between video and painting. I use video and its requisite component source, electricity, as compositional tool and material. Lensless abstract video composition (i.e., animation) is generated by voltage control (i.e., synthesizers).
Eschewing the camera’s lens gets to the core of what video consists of: my techniques are equivalent to process painting in an electronic sphere. At once the stuff of vintage computing and personal artistic expression, the work explores potentials for autonomy within circuit-based products and screen-based media.
We frequently read screens, but this work also asks, is the screen reading us back?
The work involves technology, but is rooted in a deep-seated impulse against the more-recent-new. It is both technologically cautionary and technologically fetishistic. As a result, its use of the term “new media” is located temporally, even historically. The work and its process envision an alternate history in which slower forms of computing and repair culture are still valued and prioritized. The project aspires to inform a future trajectory for screen-based media to exist outside of the masculinist frame of prevailing technological narratives and seeks to queer binary notions of pixel-based screen-thought.
