I’ve been using and appropriating various computer graphics aesthetics over the years: geometries,  vector graphics, glitches — and pixelations.

Pixelated works differ from the rest of my oeuvre because I create them entirely digitally. I hand-pixelate each pixel; there is no automation in the process.

I choose a working size (eg. 100 x 66 pixels), which sets the stage for the visual abstraction/the pixel size as experienced in the final work. The works exist both virtually and physically; for the latter, they are printed as if they were photographs. With my PhD thesis focusing on “Painting and Digital Technologies”, I eventually also wanted to embrace the old-school 80ies aesthetics of pixel-based visualities, but also aimed to expand them into HiBit territory. I fluctuate between the two.
