This event is part of the Glitch Film from the Fubar Archive event on Mondays, December 22 & 29 2025, both starting at 5 PM @ Klub MaMa Zagreb.

In addition to the video screenings, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the parametric data structure and diverse multimedia content of the Fubar archive, which will be made available to the wider public in the coming period as an interactive archive of recent digital experimental art.

PARAMETRIC EXPERIMENTS

On Monday, December 22 from 5PM to 9PM, Fubar directors Dina Gligo and Vedran Gligo will present their archival collection, and will host a discussion with the audience and artists at 7PM (CET).

Leandro Estrella [AR/IT]  :  rouse  [2016, 03’12”]

Alexis Leandro Estrella is an emerging artist, particularly prominent on the European scene. He works and experiments with a plurality of materials and media, tending to the exploration of new technologies, which he adds to his artwork. In recent years, his artistic research is based on the paradoxical relationship between creative destruction and destructive creation, which he articulates with other subjects such as time and memory. 

Digital video, then cutting and looping, then datamoshing with Way Spurr-Chen’s Moshy, then re-cutting and re-looping, then exporting, then the end.

World Wide Basement Vibes [US]  :  Cache Scratch Fever Dream  [2021, 07’38”]

World Wide Basement Vibes is an analog & digital glitch artist based in Minneapolis, MN who is actively developing tools for and techniques for TouchDesigner and VHS era analog video bending. My most current output is a self oscillilating visual experience 100% controlled by incoming audio signals. 

CSFD is an evolving real-time visual effect network that ingests multiple audio sources and dynamically deconstructs video input. The spine of the design revolves around a frame cache of up to 6000 images, and each input controls the playback speed and direction of a randomized moment in the constantly recording buffer memory. Not only that, but audio signals control hundreds of parameters and switching logic to keep the experience interesting to both the audience and the artist.

Paloma Kop [US]  :  Magnetic Field Recordings  [2021, 24’43”]

Paloma Kop is a video and sound artist using feedback, electronic hardware, and hybrid media processes to produce compositions, installations, and performances. She deconstructs the boundaries between material space and electronic space, and is interested in the universalities between natural phenomena, computing, and chaos. She holds an MFA in Electronic Arts from Alfred University and has performed at venues such as Ibrida*Pluri Festival, Transient Visions Film Festival, and Ambient Church.

Vector synthesis using Oscilloscope Graphic Artist, Phosphorm, and modular synthesizer, rescanned from Leader oscilloscope using a digital camera. Combined with footage shot Brooklyn, upstate New York, Chicago, and Central Asia from 2015-2020. Sounds were produced using the same signals used in the oscilloscope, combined with radio receivers and processed through granular resynthesis and effects. The resulting composition is a hybrid space combining the environment’s imagery and solar radiation with electronically produced signals and transmissions. We scan through various morphing geometric forms and drifting radio signals, exploring the harmonics and textures.

crash-stop [IE]  :  Safe as houses  [2021, 33’23”]

crash-stop is an artist living and working in rural Ireland.

Using the desktop and ffplay and ffmpeg to create a feedback loop between movable windows and pre-prepared video.

Eric Souther & Andrew Deutsch [US]  :  Exponential Growth  [2020, 13’06”]

Eric Souther is a new media artist who draws from a multiplicity of disciplines, including anthropology, linguistics, ritual, critical theory, and New Materialism. He develops video instruments that investigate technological & cultural ecologies, agency, and emergence. He looks for new ways of seeing beyond the seductive qualities of an image, and to find unseen connections that help us understand our digital and non-digital existence. His work takes many pathways, which include single-channel video, interactive installation, projection mapping, print, virtual reality, and audiovisual performance.

Deutsch was born in Keene, NH, and received his BFA in Video Art and Printmaking from Alfred University in 1990. He obtained his MFA in Integrated Electronic Art from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1994. Since 1998 Deutsch has released over 14 CDRs of solo electronic music on his Magic If Recordings label. Each Magic If edition showcases his experimental music and graphic art and is distributed exclusively in the United States by Anomalous Records. He has collaborated with various artists, including: Harald Bode (posthumously),[1] Tetsu Inoue, Pauline Oliveros, Ann Hamilton, Joseph Nechvatal Tony Conrad and Stephen Vitiello. His collaborative piece Empty Words 4 with John Cage and Yvar Mikshoff has been accepted into the limited archives of the John Cage Trust. There are re-mixes of Deutsch’s CD Garden Music on Oval’s OvalProcess, and Microstoria’s Improvisers.

The exponential growth of the human race, capitalism, and climate change reveals a system on the brink of failure. The ongoing global epidemic COVID-19 has tipped those scales into the red, putting millions at risk. This crisis has made it clear that America needs to rethink its economic practices and nationalize health care. COVID-19 has become the glitch in our system that requires us to step back and question the frameworks we have in place. To consider new pathways for future political, social, and economic realities.

The glitch was created by creating a virtual network for streaming video out and back into the same system. The glitches occur by throttling the networks bitrate and creating a feedback loop by taking the in back to the out. These glitches are similar to slow internets effects on streaming services like Netflix. Streaming services claim they provide you with 4k HD video, and the pixels within that resolution are present; however, they downsample your images based on your connection speed. I cannot help but make correlations to the promises of capitalism and the bootstrapped picturesque life of exponential growth and prosperity.”

Debora Bernagozzi and Jason Bernagozzi [US]  :  Ritual for Synthetic Media  [2023, 18’43”]

Jason Bernagozzi is an artist whose work examines and critiques the codes embedded within the psyche of media culture. He is currently an Associate Professor of Electronic Art at Colorado State University. Debora Bernagozzi works primarily with the mediums of video, photography, and fiber. Their work has been exhibited in the US and internationally, including at the Denver Art Museum, Burchfield Penney Museum, Ann Arbor Film Festival, and the Kuala Lumpur Experimental Film and Video Festival. Jason and Debora are also a co-founders of the experimental media art non-profit organization Signal Culture where Debora serves as Executive Director.    

Live Video Processing by Debora Bernagozzi
Custom Software (SC Frame Buffer), Google Earth Hacking, Sound by Jason Bernagozzi
“Ritual for Synthetic Media” is a single channel video recorded from a live video and sound performance by Debora and Jason Bernagozzi.
Debora (Notes toward a statement):
When I live process video, I’m not working from a rehearsed performance or simply performing a set of effects, I am feeling that video on a deep, physical level, and – combined with a solid relationship with my tools enabling nuanced expression – take both myself and the viewer into the video, experiencing it, embodying it, and emerging. Through the processing, I am further exposing the ephemeral qualities of signal and matter, while recombining the imagery to create new worlds, new energies. In these performances, Jason’s sound affects my experience of the video, and my visual responses to that affect his sound choices. We are traveling in the space of the media together.

# Fubomatic video.py

Fubomatic video.py is a script for the random selection of video files from a specified directory. It assembles and saves a playlist of a defined total duration, with the option to filter works via a CSV file containing permissions, exclude specific entries, and generate title videos (“legends”).
