Being is Movement

Responding to current cultural and governmental attempts to police gender and sexuality, Being is Movement reflects a reality that the self and the world are inherently fluid. Each piece was created by recording videos, combining them through datamoshing (a glitch art technique in which frames are deleted and files are compressed, causing changes from one frame to the next to be applied to the “wrong” frame), and printing one frame of the glitched video. This method of image creation is envisioned as a queer practice, using destruction and malfunction to create not a hierarchy of parts but a dialogue between them. Change remains present in these images in the form of distortions, recolors, and smears, yet the works take physical form beyond the screen, defying the binaries between stillness and movement, material and immaterial, and bug and feature. Using architecture, nature, text, and the artist’s body as visual elements, the prints make visual metaphors to advocate for hope in the present and faith in the future. By capturing its own process in a single frame, Being is Movement recognizes history, identity, and policy as ongoing processes.
