11x17 Risograph prints on uncoated paper. Limited edition of 100.

The series of Chiasm of Lament prints are extractions from the video work Chiasm of Lament II, where the still images are further collaged to become new works of art. The artworks present compositions of light particles and noise, spherical disruptions and beauty, where circular spheres merge with vortexes, sound elements, and digital disruption.

The series of prints accompanies the video works, which will be presented by multimedia artist Anne Katrine Senstad at the Film-Makers' Cooperative (475 Park Avenue South, 6th Floor) on Wednesday, June 11th, at 7pm.

ABOUT THE CHIASM OF LAMENT SERIES:

Chiasm of Lament is an audio-visual response to the transitory and transformational age we find ourselves in, where technology and generative information has been given spiritual and existential power. The title refers to crossing of paths that are melancholic in nature, a sphere of ambiguous transactions and embodied transformations that move in alternate or opposing directions.

In the video, Senstad works with technology as a method for deconstructing organic concentric form, light leaks and transitory merges as material. Form and movement are educed to glitches, sparkles, and flickering, harking to early space imagery, technology noise, and distributed signal error. The sound is likewise re-composed by Senstad from small parts extracted from Norwegian experimental electronic sound composer Knut Wiggen's original sound work "Resa" (Electronic Works, 1972-75), not by AI, but by the artists' hand, aesthetics, and vision, marked by editing, manipulating, seeing, and listening.

ABOUT ANNE KATRINE SENSTAD:

Anne Katrine Senstad is an interdisciplinary artist based between Oslo and New York. Her practice is anchored in the intersection of photography, video art and film, installation art, light based sculptural installations, and site specificity, with a focus on the phenomena of perception and the language of our cognitive system in response to the properties of light, sound, and color. She is concerned with aesthetics, ethics, and criticism; the transformative and the transcendental ideas of art; and social and philosophical practices. She has exhibited widely internationally since the 1990s in museums, galleries, institutions, and festivals. Biennales include 55th and 56th Venice Biennale, Bruges Art and Architecture Triennale, and Prospect 3+ in New Orleans.
