Deconstruction and resetting has long been a strategy of Glitch, circuit bending, and political art practice. The images screen printed on cotton fabric using conductive ink are taken from the google maps scan of my family home that have been glitched using a text editor. Dissecting, rearranging, and reworking shared signs and symbols- wires and electrons- is a gratifying way to dismantle systems that have been built to exclude and exploit. By first digitizing and then running these videos through a image recognition machine learning algorithm I have altered and changed them forever -making them more malleable causing me to question the nature of memory and remembering in a time before smartphones. In this work the technology is serving both as a prosthetic for my own flawed memory as well as a means of distancing myself from the emotional task of self-archiving. Halloween1991 and Waterloo House 1993 is a circuit bending and video mixing experiment where the quilt becomes a potentiometer allowing participants to glitch and warp my home videos.
