Carrying Over
Anyse Ducharme, 2023

Artist Statement:

Carrying Over
This installation was created to help N2M2L celebrate their move to a new space, carrying over their expansive past experience into a lovely, bring new workspace.

Move-out.wav
Clipped recording of the N2M2L team moving out of their previous location with reverb & delay.

Move-in.wav
Clipped recording of the N2M2L team moving in to their new offices.

Coding using open source software “Pure Data”
This code switched from both the move-out.wav and the move-in.wav audio tracks according to the frequency of sound in real time, in the room/

Glitch Animations
I saved 80 frames from a video recording of N2M2L’s move in to their new offices into separate 32bit tiff files. I opened up each tiff file with a text editor and added language from N2M2L’s new leave into the code of each image. I then converted each new glitch into 8 bit files, ordered them in their original sequence and exported the animation into a blue-tinted gif file, to be played on a web browser.

Computer Background Images
These 2 frames can be found in each Glitch Animation.

Code Windows
In these 2 windows you can find the digital negative or the code of the Computer Background Images.

Artist Bio:
Anyse Ducharme (elle | she | her) is a franco-ontarian (fr | en) media artist, curator + teacher from northeastern Ontario, Robinson-Huron Treaty Territory. Her artistic production locates itself in an opposition (from within) to digital colonialism through small, sometimes subversive acts: glitching images with internet comments; dismantling assumptions of transparency that are both promoted and compromised by the ways in which knowledge is increasingly organized in the era of the computer; and by exploring the malleability of data through the transformation of information into various representational states.

Her work has been exhibited at Flux Gallery – AceArt Inc (Winnipeg), Gallery 44 (Toronto), la Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario (Sudbury), InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Centre (Toronto), and as part of the Flash Forward festival for emergent photography (Toronto, Boston, Portland). Her most recent work “I’ve swear ive followed the instruction but my heart can’t close” is for sale with Printed Matter, Inc. (NYC).
