ARNAU TÀSIES

Visual artist & researcher

My work inhabits the boundary between human and machine, where digital language converges with the printed medium. Through rigorous experimentation with software, hardware, and algorithms, I explore the intimate potential of technology, creating daily pieces that evolve from technical trial into visual narrative. Embracing glitch, post-internet, and net art aesthetics, my process distills complex code into tangible forms, weaving dreamlike, synthetic spaces that reflect both human presence and computational trace. Each piece is an invitation to encounter and reflect on our ever-deepening relationship with digital realities.

Paradoxical Feedback: A Study in Error and Image Decay

"Paradoxical Feedback" is a media installation that explores the delicate materiality of digital images, blending analog and digital formats to evoke the concepts in Parrondo's Paradox—a counterintuitive phenomenon in which two losing strategies can produce a winning outcome. This project employs a DSLR camera and a CRT monitor to create a recursive loop of image sequences, allowing error to accumulate as digital information degrades with each pass between mediums. This cyclical exchange intentionally introduces "losses," with distortions and glitches appearing as the image shifts between digital and analog states, yet paradoxically, these accumulated flaws reveal emerging patterns and intensify visual interest.

The piece captures the oscillation between order and degradation, suggesting that intentional decay, rather than destruction, yields new textures and insights that would otherwise be absent. Through this loop, Paradoxical Feedback demonstrates how iterative error can act as a productive force, inviting viewers to contemplate the hidden potential in failure, loss, and digital entropy.
