Series referencing Jeff Koons' iconic Balloon Dog sculpture, filtered through analog video glitch aesthetics. Two works exploring the intersection of pop art iconography and digital degradation.
Degraded Jeff
The Degraded Jeff series engages directly with contemporary art history, specifically referencing Jeff Koons’ famous Balloon Dog sculpture series. By subjecting imagery of this hyperreal pop art icon to analog video glitch processes, the work creates a meta-commentary on authenticity, reproduction, and the aesthetic value of flawed copies.
Concept and Process
These works originate from analog VHS capture of material related to Koons’ Balloon Dog, then subjected to extensive glitch processing. The series explores how applying degradation and visual corruption to an already hyperreal pop art object creates layered commentary on originality, authenticity, and the reproduction of value in contemporary art.
