Transient Curated is pleased to present Static+Silence by Jennifer Panepinto, a series of 15 glitch-based artworks.
There was a time in America where television was the primary source of truth. Sitting in the majority of households across the country, it transmitted news, advertisements and dreams through the deep curved glass displays of their Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) screens.
These CRT screens were coated with phosphor, providing a glow to the images beneath them, both romantic and mundane. Combined with interlacing artifacts and the static that would appear between inputs, these screens could emit a kind of sparkle effect.
Static+Silence pulls its subjects from this time period, and its style from its screens. Panepinto layers a dense, shimmering interference pattern over scenes of everyday American life; a plate of toast, a grocery cart, a dinner spread in front of the TV. The glitch effect reads less like damage than atmosphere, the way memory softens and blurs things that have passed.
