Field Reset 2025
Digitized VHS Tapes, Digital Animation

With moving images playing asynchronously across the room, the space is riddled
with desire. Flickering incessantly, pixels on two small screens appear and disappear,
separated by the vastness of the wall. Hiding, (with)holding, seeking—Field Reset,
made to exist within the context of a group show, adds a moment of discovery, of
quiet dissonance, of unfamiliarity within the familiar.
Field Reset incorporates digitized footage from VHS tapes found from the archives in
the A/V department at Cooper Union, NYC. Carrying an advertisement and a tutorial
for hair trimmer, clips from the footage are either punctuated by or sewn onto digital
noise
