ROSA MENKMAN: GLITCHED Thursday, September 30, 6:00 p.m Rosa Menkman in person! Gene Siskel Film Center (162 N. State / 312-846-2600) Right: Image courtesy the artist. Every technology possesses its own inherent accidents. Rosa Menkman is a Dutch artist and theorist whose focus is on visual artifacts created by accidents in digital media specifically. She describes these as "the uncanny, brutal structures that come to the surface during a break of the flow within a technology; they are the primal data-screams of the machine." Working at the experimental junction of glitch, noise, and new media art, Menkman creates glitch work and writes texts about codecs, interpolation, and compression going awry. This evening, Menkman will introduce a selection of videos followed by a real-time performance. Rest assured, the equipment is working, though it may not look like it is. This presentation coincides with GLI.TC/H, an international noise and new media conference taking place from September 29 to October 3 at various locations around Chicago. Visit http://gli.tc/h.
