Rosa Menkman is a Dutch filmmaker and artist; Rosa is a trailblazer in the glitch video scene. Rosa experiments with video compression, feedback, glitches, and other forms of noise to create visuals unique to the realm of digital media.

Most discern visual glitches — i.e. buzzing lines on interlaced video, video lag, digital blocks, particles, and pixelation  — as a detriment to video aesthetics. Rosa, however, embraces these glitch-bits, and contrives them in her work, which is multivalent, and may be described as subversive fidelity, technicolor, synthetic yet organic, and at times, raucous.

Rosa has shown her work at Blip (Europe and US), Haip (Ljubljana 08), Cimatics (Brussels 08/09), Video Vortex (Amsterdam ’08 + Brussels ’09), Pasofest (Ankara 08), and collaborated on art projects together with Alexander Galloway, little-scale, Govcom.org, Goto80, and the internet art collective Jodi.org.

Rosa has written many words on glitch, including manifesto on glitch, which you can download in .pdf format here. In 2009, Rosa completed her master thesis on digital glitch under the supervision of Geert Lovink.

Petra Cortright, art-gem of the net, posts a lot of videos of herself dancing, and I admire how she posted this video of herself performing a potboiler of a dance to Kraftwerk’s “The Model.”

In the silent abstract piece of video-art (above) we observe Petra as she juggles das football in das hot-pink onezee. A synthetic pink cloud hovers. This is seductive.

Video art from the early ’80s – an ocean of technicolored bits + shapes.  Plenty of rainbow gradients and tracer images.  A fun ride.

Oh my gosh, we have triple pay on this.

This video is brilliant and is chocked full of perverse artifice.

Bryan Boyce, a San Francisco-based experimental filmmaker, employs astute image/audio juxtapositions by combining 2000 campaign footage of Al Gore and George W. Bush with found audio from late-night TV infomercials.  Artificial animated mouths are superimposed (more…)
