Ghost Series

Ghost is a relatively new series of works which is still expanding. Thus far I've made six of these pieces of which I made two during my current residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien. The works consists of one or more hologram LED fans mounted to a welded steel canvasses of different sizes. Due to the technology on which the video is displayed, the image hovers in front of the canvas, sometimes suddenly evaporating in thin air giving it an otherworldly and ghostlike feel. The videos are taken from archival footage from raves in the early 90's. By combining this old material with a very new technology that's normally used for displaying 3D renders in high retail environments, glitching and ghost imaging occurs. The images I've selected from several online archives are shadow figures and light shows in a dark environment. The silhouettes become portraits, and the light shows become like color field,or abstract paintings. This back and forth between old videos and new screening technology, old media and new media and the ghostly qualities that come to existence through these exchanges is what fascinate me about these works.

Deep Down Inside

Deep Down Inside investigates the notion of sound in time and space and questions how its qualities can resemble or relate to a contemporary human condition. It looks at popular culture – especially the ethos of electronic music and it's surrounding youth culture – in relation to industrial production. The protagonist is a talking dinosaur in it's final minutes before the mass extinction event. Whilst explaining how sound travels through time and space, eventually ending up as heat, found footage of industry and dark raves flow by. We see a world where future and past merge into one another, grinding gears transform into music, natural environments are influenced by industry or virtual manipulation, and nostalgia and history often get confused. It ends in a visual and auditory spectacle where the sound of the meteor hitting the earth and the bass from the raves melt in to one another while different timelines merge. The video piece manifests itself as a sensory experience which combines multiple subjective histories in a consciously equivocal manner.

Motorhead

In 'Motorhead' an engine shaped entity floats amid a background of found footage from raves, archived newspaper articles, horses, factories and various other vaguely familiar sceneries. A talking head, repetitive in the likes or Max Headroom, resembling an industrial deity. It has obvious imperfections despite being a pivotal technological and historical commodity. It's snotty, ill and often relies on non-sensical mumbling in a delirious manner. In this video work I try to combine elements of rhythm, intrinsic defect, and the visual remnants of recent cultural and technological developments to explore the notion of popular culture - especially that of electronic music and it's youth culture - in relation to industrial production.
