Artist Statement:

Distorted memories are created from an imaginative zone known as Oneiria. In our high-tech world, unpredictable behaviour from technology is often perceived as negative. These glitches, however, can be a starting point to expand the possibilities of image production in the digital age. Oneiria uses datamoshing, a technique in which digital video images are deliberately made unstable. Found footage in different formats (digital HD, VHS, Super 8, …) is used in a painterly way, smearing images to create abstract, dreamlike landscapes.
