interesting that i should just stumble upon this man's work right after my posts of distorted video chat stills. it's always nice to know that someone has always thought of it before you! just kidding. totally cool that people have already started experimenting with this aesthetic, as it is quite an obvious one. anyway, i was just browsing recent posts at rhizome and here's what i read:
(from rhizome)
Kon Trubkovich’s work is concerned with notions of space and memory visualization. His videos, paintings, and works on paper, often deal with the technological transfer of information, and the inherent visual aspects that occur from disruption, interference, and distortion – lines, blips, anomalies. Video transmissions are garbled, and the two-dimensional work derives from equally abstruse digital stills. Paintings and graphite drawings depicting recorded instants, which may contain recognizable elements or be completely abstract, lack identity and are unclear in content. This work refers to the randomness of analog static, but also illustrates the paradox that exists with the value and exercise of capturing a moment.
