Perspicuus - Jakob Emdal & Jonas Kasper Jensen

About

In their work, Jakob Emdal and Jonas Kasper Jensen investigate changes in meaning as well as of the reception of different forms of images in relation to new technologies and historical change. Through the aid of both photography and installation, they bridge the physical and digital worlds, while dealing with the structures of net-based image production and reception, as well as with the construction and representation of algorithmic processes. In keeping with the title Perspicuus (Latin: transparent, clear), the artists delve into the integration and development of digital imagery as well as the construction and representation of Internet-orientated practices and uncover their structures. By way of artistic transformations and translations, or a mixture of these processes, Emdal and Jensen seek to consider these issues and to develop complex works that make tangible the abstract digital networks of our time with a new visual quality.
