My thesis is a collection of glitched out stills and moving images that I’ve created using CRT TVs and analog video gear. The collection is made up of 5 images and 3 videos.
A lot of the time my brain feels as if it has the pedal to the metal and I can’t get it to slow down. Making this kind of art has made me realize that even in all its chaos, it calms me down and my brain seems to get back to a normal, more manageable pace. I have been producing music for the last 8 years now and I found that making it has a very similar effect. I guess I tend to gravitate towards mediums that relax me.
