Rosa Menkman is a Dutch art theorist, curator, glitch artist and visual artist specialising in glitch art and resolution theory. Menkman has curated several international exhibitions of other artists' work.[1] Menkman investigates video compression, feedback, and glitches, using her exploration to generate works such as The Collapse of PAL (2011), in which Menkman acknowledges the end of Phase Alternating Line—an analogue video programming structure.[2] This is the digital version of a live av-performance first done on national Danish television and afterward realized at oa. Transmediale (Germany) and Nova festival (Brasil). [3]
Glitch art
[edit]Menkman's research into the emerging form of glitch art was published as the book The Glitch Moment(um) at the University of Amsterdam, by the Institute of Network Cultures.
In her commentary, the glitch takes an unusual arrangement relative to noise, breakdown or coincidence. It shifts between artifact and mesh; between breakages and object making processes. [4]
She wrote A Vernacular of File Formats[5] and the Glitch Studies Manifesto[6] in the same year. The manifesto was awarded 'best practice' by Virtueel Platform, then sector institute for e-culture in the Netherlands.[7]
The publication of The Glitch Moment(um) coincided with the GLI.TC/H festival, organized by Menkman in collaboration with American artists Nick Briz and Jon Satrom. The first GLI.TC/H festival in 2010 (Chicago) was followed by a second and third edition in 2011 (Chicago, Amsterdam, Birmingham) and 2012 (Chicago).[8]
Menkman defines Glitch Art as a “wonderful interruption that shifts an object away from its ordinary form and discourse, towards the ruins of destroyed meaning.”
When asked about specific software and hardware she uses, Menkman states that her preferred software is Quicktime. Her chosen compressions are Cinepak (for moving image) and gif (for static images). [9]
In 2015 Menkman opened the institutions of Resolution Disputes at Transfer Gallery in New York.[10] In October 2015, one of the works in the show, DCT, referencing Discrete Cosine Transform was awarded 1st prize at the Crypto Design Challenge hosted by MOTI.[11]
Her Vernacular of File Formats piece has attainted "cult status."[12]
