Tilting fragments of the visible world. Disrupted Vision focuses not on what television shows, but on what becomes visible when the transmission fails. The recordings are based on television images from the cultural channels 3sat and ARD alpha. With the help of a digital indoor antenna, whose reception is influenced by deliberate manipulations in the room, images emerge that lie somewhere between technical malfunction and autonomous aesthetics. The signal breaks down, yet the image does not simply disappear; instead, the unexpected is brought to light. What appears familiar begins to blur. The image behaves less and less like a window to the world and more and more like a signal under pressure. Explosions of color and storms of pixels, surfaces and patterns cover the image field. In a culture where images are produced in vast, unmanageable quantities, the individual image no longer offers any reliability. It is compressed, transmitted, degraded, reformatted. Landscapes become signals, memories become data, forms become pixels. At the same time, the foreseeable restructuring or abolition of such programs points to a present in which cultural content, too, is coming under pressure or even being abandoned. Yet amidst this digital decay, a peculiar, exuberant beauty emerges. The error becomes productive and transforms into a visual event. Disrupted Vision observes this unstable terrain between landscape and data, between representation and decay. The works capture the moment when an image no longer behaves like information, but instead begins an uncontrollable transformation.
