it is my first video using glitch technic into my piece. made by 2010, it's been a long,  though, I'd like to pointed out how and why I started into glitch.

The Scale is Everything

The Scale is Everything is an installation that examines eating disorders, dissatisfaction, perfection and anonymity in the internet culture.

The video piece is made by collecting found text and serial numbers (height and weight) related to the published history of eating disorders. These statistics, and other private information, is made public by individuals on web sites dedicated to pro-analoxia. These web sites are designed to promote anorexia as a healthy lifestyle instead of a destructive sickness. From the recovered information I make video collages, using analog errors, artifacts and other “bugs” by either corrupting digital code/data, or by physically manipulating electronic

devices.

How poor we are. We make perfect images, and often fail to get that image.

How blind we are. We cannot see us for ourselves,

so we want to reflect and confirm ourselves through the images made by someone.

Scenes of the 21st century appear to me as almost transparent blue. The narrative of blue is ambiguous, delicate and pure, full of a fragile intimacy that is sad, vulnerable and unstable. Blue is high and low. Blue shows us the celestial heavens as well as our own sadness.
