Digital Materials and Rhizome

Single channel video

“A rhizome has no beginning or end. No central focal point can be understood, only an endless middle. This video uses datamoshing, the process of corrupting digital video data to melt, and crush pixels of the sources together for new dimensions of depth and texture to visually represent what a rhizome might look like in video terms. All media used is sourced from video and audio from a mind map with sources by a group of artists and creators centred around networks and post-digital art and culture. ”
