MONA LISA CURSE // VAR: Glitch, Mono, Video // VERSION: 001 // EDITIONS: 333 // TYPE: MP4 // SIZE:1080X1920 // DURATION: 23 seconds // "In the future, everyone will have a Mona Lisa Curse for 15 minutes." -Ctrl // This work was inspired by an art documentary “Mona Lisa Curse” by Robert Hughes, I came across his work in 2010 and it changed the way I look and think about art and what it can accomplish. This specific series deals with image and our relationship with art as a society && individuals. // “The way that art is experienced in these spaces has changed beyond recognition. The museum has adopted the strategy of mass media; an emphasis on spectacle, the cult of the celebrity masterpiece, art clocked through the blink of an eye or through the lens of a camera. But what it’s gained through an increase in these numbers, it’s lost in terms of freedom of access and availability to the eye and the mind.” -Robert Hughes // PROCESS: Databend [jpg, png, tiff, gif, webp], Processing, Java. First I glitched the Mona Lisa in Notepad++ in different image formats, then fed those images through a glitch program written in Processing. This is a 23 second clip of the output. // TWITTER: @DUSTRIAL // WEB: HTTP://DUSTRIAL.NET
