My video for Vester Koza's OTR release. Full HD version @ http://vimeo.com/163148955 + on my website. '"We live in an era of algorithmic monitoring in which our purchases, preferences, politics and perversions are increasingly tagged tracked predicted and sold"* OT-R~cord serves to illustrate the evolving power struggle to protect what is essentially our global Human essence from mass surveillance bodies through encryption protocols and Off The Record ("OTR") digital comms. Visual elements originated as personal artworks which were "visually encrypted" beyond recognition using algorithm-based pixel sorting software. Mutated digital forms encase and release high-value packages of personal data, juxtaposed with nostalgic warmth + organic haze of pure analogue footage reminiscent of innocent era before mass monetization of personal data become commonplace.' *Alice Twemlow, 2016. #video #videoart #glitch #pixeldrift #pixelsorting #encryption #electronic #analogue
