The Curated Program introduces DV_ghost through two glitch-based works that draw from the language of aging technology, unfolding unstable fields of perception.
The works activate traces of pop culture and digital translation, reconfiguring fragments as signals moving through memory, time, and the networked screen.
Today_is_Friday_in_California – Digital work, 2025
Emerging from the California series, this loop reconfigures a pop fragment through datamosh and signal failure. A phrase migrates across languages and time zones, carrying with it the textures of fandom, nostalgia, and media circulation.
Within the loop, the glitch acts as portal, compressing memory into unstable visual matter.
LOL – Digital work, 2025
The edition extends the glitch vocabulary into a condensed sequence of noise and compression drift. Each frame translates instability into rhythm, where error becomes pattern and collapse reorganizes into new digital forms.
The work embodies the playful yet structural force of glitch as both breakdown and reconstruction.
DV_ghost’s practice evolves through MiniDV, Handycam, and digital glitch processes. Their research explores the technical limits of outdated consumer devices, activating new languages of corruption, distortion, and image decay.
Every work functions as both experiment and artifact, coded within a wider field of media history and contemporary digital culture.
Within this release, glitch surfaces as a structural method, compressing signals into unstable architectures of memory. Pop culture becomes residue, endlessly fragmented yet constantly reformulated. Loops act as nodes in a living network, where collapse generates continuity and error reveals new systems of vision.
DV_ghost is a video artist currently based online through distributed practice.
Their trajectory fuses media studies, video history, and hands-on experimentation, expanding glitch into broader narrative environments.
Ongoing work includes the vessel collection on objkt, extending the language of image failure into structural continuity.
