Ticket #9818
#9818 is the number with which the developers of the interactive & multi-media programming environment Max/MSP/Jitter recognize a bug produced by sending to the graphic card an image which can not be interpreted. The result is always a different 256x256 bitmap that has no correlation with the original image. In fact, they are visualizations of random portions of the video memory information, like hidden computer hieroglyphs. It is this unexpected behavior which gives to these images the pureness of the instantaneous and unconscious. Some of these are hosted at the Harddiskmuseum by Sóliman López.
KEVIN KRIPPER
The challenges of working with a legacy of bug-filled technology has been my main obsession. Using self-developed tools, found footage from art history, and technological uchronias, my work engages with topics that explore notions of appropriation, authorship, techno-phobias, digital/organic nature, new media art conservation, and media archeology.
