Video Pool shares analog-digital piece 40 years in the making
Artist Mario Desbiens, known as Orima Bendisse, has created a new media piece titled 'Along the Red River on my Broken TV' by blending 40-year-old analog video footage with modern digital captures. The project explores the aesthetic differences and material flaws between analog and digital media.
Why it matters
This work highlights the intersection of historical preservation and modern digital art, emphasizing the unique 'organic' qualities of analog technology.
One of the first things that Orima Bendisse when he started his residency at the Video Pool Media Arts Centre in the Exchange District was watch through the footage that he had gathered on video cassettes in Quebec’s Gatineau Park some four decades earlier.
“It was a shock, for sure,” he shares with a laugh. “I didn’t recognize myself and my friends, too.”
