ANALOG VIDEO UNION: ALIVE AND ELECTRIC /

Glitch Essay ::: PORTAL TO THE UNDERWORLD
Portal to the Underworld is a hypnotic audiovisual meditation on the allure of analog video and the immersive power of the CRT screen. In total darkness, layers of red and greyscale water waves flicker across the CRT, gradually drawing you into a trance-like state. This flickering glow becomes a portal—a liminal space where the mind drifts into deeper, hidden layers of consciousness.
Late at night, alone with only your thoughts and the CRT's flicker, the screen becomes an entryway to the underworld of your subconscious. It’s not just the technical beauty of analog equipment but the personal connection to the medium itself. The analog practice merges with your state of being, translating your inner world into a unique and immersive experience. The glowing frame of the CRT becomes both a mirror and a gateway, inviting you to lose yourself in its hypnotic rhythm and the liminalities of analog beauty.
Alive with unpredictable beauty, it explores the intersection of memory, noise, and the emotional textures of analog technology, making each flicker a gateway to the unknown.
Analog video artists are like modern-day alchemists, channeling the raw power of electromagnetism to craft alternate realities. At the heart of this practice is a mystical dance between mind, technology, and nature, embracing imperfections and nostalgic echoes of the past. The tools—CRT monitors, VCRs, and video mixers—may be seen as obsolete, but they unlock vibrant, unpredictable beauty, resisting the rigidity of digital perfection. In this analog realm, chaos meets order, creating new, radiant visions that celebrate human impermanence and experimental creativity. It's an art form that reawakens forgotten futures and timeless memories.
"Portal to the Underworld" captures the immersive essence of analog video art, where flickering CRT screens become gateways to deeper consciousness. In this dim, hypnotic world of red and greyscale waves, the analog process mirrors a personal journey into the unknown, inviting viewers to explore hidden layers of their minds.
Like analog video artists, who craft realities from old technologies, this piece celebrates imperfection and the unpredictability of analog tools. It rejects digital perfection, embracing the unstable and chaotic, where glitches become portals to new realms. In this eerie, liminal space, human impermanence is revealed, where both the past and the present resonate with otherworldly echoes.
Alive with unpredictable beauty, it explores the intersection of memory, noise, and the emotional textures of analog technology, making each flicker a gateway to the unknown.
