Poolside Hybrid
2019, Residency / Installation
During the spring of 2019, I was awarded the Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration, an Artist Residency offered by Videopool Media Arts Centre, in Winnipeg Manitoba. My proposal was to utilize Video Pool’s unused legacy video equipment and Amiga consoles in conjunction with newer digital equipment to transform their gallery space into a hybrid Analog-Digital video production studio and experimental laboratory. The resulting experiments were aimed at deconstructing the comparatively ‘primitive’ digital effects, transitions, and 3D renderer of the once cutting-edge Video Toaster 4000 to create new experimental animations and performances. The Residency was self guided and not product-driven, with an emphasis on exploration and experimentation. The month long residency was finalized with a solo performance and screening of new works created during the residency.
