Catalogue > Un extrait vidéo au hasard

A video is a stream of information, and this moving image relies upon the relationship of static frames which are algorithmically determined.... In the language of video compression, the (I) frames are the reference points between which movement is interpolated. Manual deletion or misplacement of (I) frames results in a video glitch known as a datamosh ‘ the stream of nformation d srupted, d sorgan zed ‘ nterupeted ‘ lost ‘ the ( ) frame removed, rejected ‘ BUT, reclaimed, the (I) frame, the burning bolts of the machine, are at once reasserted in this dance macabre.... (I) FRAME is a mechanical ballet set to the original tempo that characterizes motion on screen at 24 (I) frames a second’.

Karissa Hahn is a visual artist who uses the mechanical devices of cinema to deconstruct former artifacts by physically transforming celluloid - an osmosis of digital manipulation & optical printing; creating a degraded aggregation into resurrection. Her work often employs a series of format transfers to birth digitally-native effects on film and homogenized products which have been referred to as ‘spectra ephemera.’ Karissa currently makes performative short super 8 films, hi8 videos filmed in the break room, and phone calls to corporations. Hahn has shown work around the globe in various micro-cinemas and institutions. Andrew Kim makes many different kinds of films. He is inspired by motion picture technology and how it is/was/and can be used to create meaning. Armed with a wry sense of humor, in conjunction with a concern for formal playfulness, Andrew attempts to transcend the exact mechanics that make movies possible. He is searching for a new kind of knowledge. Andrew`s films have screened at a variety of venues and festivals in the United States and abroad. He lives by the Los Angeles River in Los Angeles, California.
