The SCREENSUGI series is an attempt to fail best and “fail better,” as Beckett put it.

The artist is inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, that gives artifacts a second life.

De Wilde explores the ambivalent status of compression- and glitch aesthetics, broken screens and repairing, in order to open up critical spaces for reflection in our techno-saturated culture. In the tech world efficiency, control and immediacy rule. Failure, noise and glitches are avoided at all costs, but are of great interest to artists like Frederik De Wilde.
