Rosa Menkman, a Dutch artist, specializes in glitch art and resolution theory. She investigates visual compression and glitches to create an artwork by combining different sensory systems. Developing glitch art as a genre, the artist proposes a programming structure that takes the use of compression artifacts into dicrete cosine transform blocks. Such an approach successfullly builds a subtle relationship between an artifact and a process.
What attracts me the most is her creative insight into illustrating compressive art. The glitches mark a transformation of audios and sounds that are hard to describe or see into a visual language that can have colors, scopes, continuity and variance. Such clear yet bold compositions give us a more insightful knowledge of how different types of art can work through visualizing those elements. What’s more, it can be interesting to study such patterns to find out the aesthetics and the universal “golden ratios” behind all those different genres and expressions.
