The exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to explore several video works created through a long-standing experimental practice based on the hybrid use of analog and digital video technologies.
At the center of the exhibition is a two-channel video installation composed of fragments of identical content featuring representations of three-dimensional geometric figures, created by manipulating and transforming VHS recordings. Each video operates autonomously and asynchronously, while continuously generating new compositional structures and oscillating between states of incongruity, dissonance, and the possibility of spontaneous synchrony.
The works are characterized by a generative and algorithmic approach to composition, where specially designed equipment and circuits are used to process the analog video signal, operating to a certain extent beyond the standard parameters of video. The video fragments included in the exhibition are an attempt to capture the visual manifestations of these borderline states, capturing the relationship between stability and collapse.
