Digital Recollection
On the analog side, lenses used were a pinhole Holga HL-C 60mm f/8, Helios-81 50 mm f/ 2 and the bellows and lens of an Autographic Kodak Special Model A, F -6.3. On the digital side the camera used was a Canon 550D with Magic Lantern firmware. The video shooting was made by hand and for some scenes was used the lens whacking technique.
The methods used for the glitching were databending (incorrect editing) and datamoshing.
Aristeidis Koutoulogenis
Aristeidis Koutoulogenis is a video artist based in Greece. He holds a Bachelor in Material Science, a MA in Audiovisual Arts, and now is a postgraduate student in Computer Engineering. Despite that he worked for several years in the audiovisual industry as a videographer, editor, and project manager, it was only recently that made his debut as a solo artist with the project “Digital Recollection”, that he hopes to be presented public, for the first time, in /’fu:bar/ festival.
He is using glitching as an approach to describe the subjective nature of memory and the process of recollection. Being at the borderline between analog and digital, he is using mainly old analog lenses and in-camera effects. His work is based in storytelling and can be described as poetic and nostalgic.

God is in the Moire
3 min and 17 seconds audio visual piece from the Visual Album, dream_logs by ethereal_interface released by Circuit Church 2020. A collaborative piece using creative coding, video hardware feedback, modular audio and video synthesis plus poetry which explores the concept of technology as a spiritual experience.
ethereal interface
ethereal_interface is the audio visual duo consisting of Sky Goodman and William Randall. Randall and Goodman began collaborating in late 2017 after discovering each other’s art online. Goodman began the collaboration by sending video art to Randall, who then created sonically as a reaction to the video, doing away with the classical notion that video is supposed to accompany a song like a traditional music video or vice versa. The idea in ethereal_interface is that visuals and sound can intertwine, interweave, and inform each other simultaneously and that there is no hierarchy when it comes to any form of art—all elements present in the work remain equal.

Incomplete
“Incomplete” uses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to semantically synthesize photographic images from a series of label maps that are first rendered from open-source software Blender. The process produces images that are as photographic as they are inexact. The result is a series of images that simultaneously attract and repulse: remnants of familiarity in a blanket of digital debris.
Dalena Tran
Dalena Tran (b. West Valley City, UT 1992) is a media artist, creative director, and educator living and working in Los Angeles, CA. Her research-based practice reinterprets applications of traditional art forms with emerging digital technologies through hybrid mediations. Engaging various media forms as semiotic storytelling, she investigates the everyday confluences of language and expression; presence and immateriality; voyeurism and surveillance; urbanism and hegemony; play and pause.

Jupiter Gale
The vessel scanning and cataloging worlds from this universe and alternative realities!
Jupiter Gale is a photographic project conceiving landscapes as art pieces. A project that references aspects of impressionist paintings merged with results of a circuit bent camera.
Each piece is a photography taken by an obsolete digital camera with its circuit purposefully altered. This is a glitch aesthetics technique called circuit bending: the circuit board inside the electronic device is modified to create unexpected results not originally designed for. Its like reconfiguring the DNA of the camera and it starts to see and capture from alternative realities.
The music from the piece “”Entering Jupiter’s Rings”” is authoral and is part of an album to be released soon”
Txchidu
Artist based in Brasil and passionate about making art out of obsolete electronic devices.
I’m a former graphic designer that stopped making ‘art’ for others and started making art for me. Of course I got poor because of that. Depressed? Equally! But that’s the artist life huh?

Cache Scratch Fever Dream
CSFD is an evolving real-time visual effect network that ingests multiple audio sources and dynamically deconstructs video input.
The spine of the design revolves around a frame cache of up to 6000 images, and each input controls the playback speed and direction of a randomized moment in the constantly recording buffer memory. Not only that, but audio signals control hundreds of parameters and switching logic to keep the experience interesting to both the audience and the artist.
World Wide Basement Vibes
Analog & digital glitch artist based in Minneapolis, MN who is actively developing tools for and techniques for TouchDesigner and VHS era analog video bending.
My most current output is a self oscillilating visual experience 100% controlled by incoming audio signals.

Dialectic
Datamoshing & Frame Buffering using a custom made flicker system with variable control. All done real-time in one take.
Jason Bernagozzi
Jason Bernagozzi is an artist whose work examines and critiques the codes embedded within the psyche of media culture. His work uses the real-time features of video and electronic media as a way to engage with interdisciplinary concepts as a dialogical system of emerging languages. He is particularly interested in the potential of non-human agents as collaborators in the artistic endeavor as a way to explore new concepts that exist outside the sphere of human assumption and logic.

Raw Data
The work is influenced by the business model known as Surveillance Capitalism. The manipulation of images, the defects of repetition is intended to mimic the behavioural data that makes up the raw material input which feeds Surveillance Capitalism.
Jaime Cleeland
I am a filmmaker/musician. Many of moving image works have been screened at film festivals. I release music under the name Ethnomite Pux.
