Title: SC.01.01.
Artist: Anne Katrine Senstad
Music: JG Thirlwell, courtesy of Entopic Music Scale: 4:3 Stereo Year: 2001 (Unique 2001- 2021 edition) SC.0101. by Anne Katrine Senstad was created in 2001 as a visual glitch work accompanied by a glitch sound composition by composer and musician JG Thirlwell as a unique work on technology, glitch and the beauty of noise -as audio visual poetry. The video marks the first collaboration between Senstad and Thirlwell who have continued to collaborate on projects ever since. The video work was first screened with curator Koan Jeff Baysa in New York in 2003. A series of photographic works also derived from Senstad's sound files, and exhibited in the group show PLEXI at Galleri JMS in Oslo, Noway in 2002 and included in Senstad's solo show ONE, at the same gallery. These "Light and Sound Panels" works, were also exhibited at Transient NYC as a 2 person exhibition with Matthew Abbott (RIP) in 2003, curated by Laura Raisanen of Jeffrey Deitch Gallery as a solo curatorial project. On SC.01.01: Senstad created the early experimental and poetic glitch video through several stages of digital and manual actions, experimental analogue camera work and film/video editing. The material is self referential: sound as material to cut up and scratch, as documentation, visual manifestation and visual compositions, - and a record of its existence and language. The video material was first filmed onto DV tape on a Sony Camera from a no-longer existing sound program from Senstad's own sound productions that consisted of cut up narrative sound . The obsolete sound program ran on a 90's G3 Mac. Thirlwell's sound piece is a published composition on Entopic Music, from glitched noise as tones and notes, recomposed as a musical piece. it inhabits a melancholy, nostalgia and an almost human presence through its technology and the CD/DVD as material. The era of the late 1990's marks the very end of analogue sound, where music fully stepped into the digital age, which altered the music industry and musicians lives forever. Today, we are at a similar threshold of agency.
