Tirador

Tirador is a video artist and VJ whose work examines matters of authorship through image appropriation. It establishes a dialogue between the new technologies and all the languages that originate from the net, trying to analyze communication through the Internet as a never ending source of raw material to work with. It questions the very own nature of images. In the same way, he manipulates these materials taking into account the new aesthetics of the digital era; using their tools and making the most of its resources. He usually works with different kinds of textures and noises, such as glitch, VHS, analog film or 3D.

“As an artist working with found footage, I believe that recycling and reutilising images is essential to understanding the contemporary world. My artistic practice tries to be in tune with the problems that our planet is currently facing and, most of all, the ones that will have to face in the future. I dive into the seas of content that are generated by the minute, the enormous amount of data that us humans are capable of storing, belonging to any time, to find treasures which I feel necessary to rescue and show. My activism is related to making the most out of the resources that have already been generated, that's why I don't record any new images and my laboratory is based entirely at the video editing software. By using videos with very few visualizations, relegated to the depths of the internet, I give this lost and forgotten material a new life. The moving image collage is formed, through a digital archaeological process, out of forgotten files.” — Tirador
