Rosa Menkman: The Blob of Impossible Images
Channel: NeMe
Date: 15/10/2023

The BLOB (Binary Large OBject) gives a home to the collection of Im/Possible images that all together illustrate the concept of the impossible image and the relationships between affordance, resolution and compromise. As different Axes of Affordance (X,Y,Z and a) cut the BLOB, they define what is possible to resolve, and what images are compromised, or in other words, will never be rendered. While normally these compromised images would never find their way to our eyes, the hypothetical realms of the BLOB offer pasture to these impossible renders.

In this presentation about the BLOB Menkman will not only speak to this recent collection of impossible images, but also to how collecting and categorising has played a role in my artistic practice in general.
