Private Project

Blip

The use of the grid as informed by Rosalind Krauss, suggests an expansive space beyond the confines of its various frames whilst simultaneously organising the image’s internal surface.

In the film ‘Blip’, glitches disrupt the movement of the shapes as they travel across the grid. Created digitally, by disrupting the coding of an image, and organically, by dragging an object across a scanner, the glitches within 'Blip' remind the viewer of the virtual screen and technology's attempt to recreate the physical and the real.
