Don't You Wish You Were On The Other Side Of The Glass
By David Van Eyssen
“I’m always asking questions when I work. Where does the figure belong in relation to the rest of the objects in the frame, and to the window itself? Is the reflection ambiguous — does it ask the viewer to query the position of the subject? Does the image make us ask what is on the inside looking out, or on the outside looking in, and where that dividing line is? When I’m taking a picture, I work with the same cues we look for unconsciously in everyday life to tell us what's real or not.”
Pioneering Digital Glitch Collaboration in 2005
By Clayton Campbell and Christian Knudsen
“In 2005 at the 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica, California, Clayton Campbell and Christian Knudsen were some of the first West Coast artists to experiment with data bending and glitching jpg files for digital photography. It began when Campbell, using the first commercially available digital cameras, re-photographed from his computer screen the notorious images of US soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison. The files corrupted when downloaded, appearing as static, distorted, fragmented fields of color.”
