GLITCH FILM RETROSPECTIVE: Atlas of the Destitute of Vision
Travelling through a landscape covered in piles of obsolete technology, stifled by trade-offs, and obscured by standard settings, the Angel of History navigates an endless spiral of digital ‘advancements.’ Her journey probes an ecology of images, examining resolutions: the solution of functionality and compromise within the fields of image processing.
Rosa Menkman [NL]
Rosa Menkman is a Dutch artist and researcher of resolutions.
The journey of her protagonist, the Angel of History—inspired by Paul Klee’s 1920 monoprint, Angelus Novus, and conceptualized by Walter Benjamin in 1940—functions as a foundational framework for her explorations of image processing technologies.
In her written research, Rosa focuses on noise artifacts that result from accidents in both analog and digital media. As a compendium to this research, she published Glitch Moment/um (INC, 2011), a book on the exploitation and popularization of glitch artifacts.
She further explored the politics of image processing in Beyond Resolution (i.R.D., 2020). In this book, Rosa describes how the standardization of resolutions promotes efficiency, order, and functionality, but also involves compromises, resulting in the obfuscation of alternative ways of rendering.
In 2019, Rosa won the Collide Arts at CERN Barcelona award, which inspired her recent research into im/possible images, consolidated in the im/possible images reader (published by the i.R.D. & Lothringer, with support from V2, 2022).

Putujući krajolikom prekrivenim hrpama zastarjele tehnologije, ugušenim kompromisima i zamračenim standardnim postavkama, Anđeo povijesti plovi beskrajnom spiralom digitalnog ‘napretka’. Njegovo putovanje istražuje ekologiju slika, analizirajućo rezolucije: funkcionalno i kompromisno rješenje unutar područja obrade slike.

“Rosa Menkman nizozemska je umjetnica i istraživačica rezolucija.
Putovanje njezina glavnog junaka, anđela povijesti – nadahnuto monoprintom Paula Kleea iz 1920., Angelus Novus, a konceptualizirano od strane Waltera Benjamina 1940. – funkcionira kao temeljni okvir za njezina istraživanja tehnologija obrade slike.
U svom pisanom istraživanju, Rosa se usredotočuje na artefakte šuma koji su rezultat greški u analognim i digitalnim medijima. Kao sažetak svojih istraživanja, objavila je Glitch Moment/um (INC, 2011.), knjigu o iskorištavanju i popularizaciji glitch artefakata.
Dodatno je istražila politiku obrade slike u Beyond Resolution (i.R.D., 2020.). U ovoj knjizi Rosa opisuje kako standardizacija rezolucija promiče učinkovitost, red i funkcionalnost, ali također uključuje kompromise, što rezultira zamagljivanjem alternativnih načina prikazivanja.
Rosa je 2019. osvojila nagradu Collide Arts u CERN-u Barcelona, što je nadahnulo njezino nedavno istraživanje ne/mogućih slika, objedinjeno u im/possible images reader (izdavač i.R.D. & Lothringer, uz potporu V2, 2022.).”
