An exploration of how the unpredictable nature of technology can yield unexpected benefits, particularly via the technique of 'data moshing'.

synopsis

In our high-tech world, technology’s unpredictable behaviour is often perceived as negative. But these glitches - ‘the ghost in the machine’ - can be a starting point to expand the possibilities of image production in the digital age. Oneiria uses ‘data moshing’, a technique in which digital video images are deliberately made unstable, while found footage in different formats (digital HD, VHS, Super 8) is literally used as paint, smearing images to create abstract, dreamlike landscapes.
