Blue Pill is a video collage created through analog video glitches/distortions, mixing together a live feed from a camcorder - positioned in the center of the installation - and archive footage from my phone shown as part of the City Artist Corps Grant.
By manipulating the electrical signal between my media and the TV (enhancing noise, colors and changing frame rates and density) I create a layered landscape that evokes memories of psychedelic experiences blended with real time images of the viewer, inviting them to sense the interconnection with self and the environment in a grounding and joyful way through visual patterns of distorted reality. Using the mediums available in my studio, this installation functions as an escape from reality and ongoing social hysteria post covid.
