Distorted Areas~0.1 (fields of interim)
Manuel Knapp AT, 2008, 6', SD video
A video image works by the principle of aesthetics contrary to the logic of direction or usefulness of technological tools, in this case the software module for the implementation of certain rendering effects, disturbing them to the greatest possible extent. This module is deliberately used contrary to its general purpose, while a “meaningful” graphic 3D image transforms into a dislocated black and white surface with no rules, only “meaningless” oscillating lines and patterns. Sound acts in a similar manner: using feedback and sound effect devices the sounds are intertwined without a meaning or purpose with image formations. The video is a result of perverted relations of the reproduced. However, what can be seen and heard, i.e. what “is” image and sound, is the contortion as such. (Marc Ries)
