I chose this artist because as image-makers and consumers, we don’t tend to think about the digital artifacts we leave behind. Even though the digital image is ubiquitous to the point of becoming taken for granted, it’s continually surprising when it shows wear. It’s an odd combination – the intangible, digital images that exist only on a screen aren’t subject to rips or tears, cracks or friction, but they can break all the same. To achieve the effect you see in these images the artist uses glitch techniques to generate digital artifacts within images found in mass media such as film, television and the Internet.
Karver is part of the group, Techspressionism that explores these ideas. “Techspressionism is introduced as a new art-historical term to describe fine artists using digital technology to convey subjective, emotional content. Techspressionism distinguishes expressive fine art results from such genres as “digital art,” which can include animated movies, and video games, as well as from “new media” works that do not embody convincing artistic intent.”
