Hysteresis I
Artwork 1 Details :
In this experimental project, I applied a data bending process to get the glitch effect. Using Notepad ++, I added the information (from the source code) of an image corresponding to a childhood memory to the source code of an image from present day, causing a corruption of the original image. The image of the present, a portrait, thus contains a visual irregularity caused by interference from the past. Like in real life, where our memories and recollections alter our vision of the world. Finally, I added a QR code to the resulting image, through which it is possible to “access" the remembrance that it is causing the distortion, like a window to the black box of our memories.

Brazilian photographer based in Mexico, I began my artistic training in 2012. My creative process is driven by curiosity about the world around us and by the constant desire to search for a look of my own. The projects I have developed are focused on exploring the processes of identity formation, which shape us and give us unique characteristics. In addition, I am interested in exploring the paths of memory consolidation, both individual and collective. For this, I use family archives as tools for work and inspiration, addressing issues such as memories, personal marks and uniqueness. Currently, I am approaching experimental photographic methods, applying databending techniques to induce glitches and distortions, also exploring digital pinhole photography. I am interested in beginning to give an expanded context to my creations, resorting to multimedia tools for the elaboration of audiovisual pieces and video installations.Social:
