Artist I Love Presets

I Love Presets, the multimedia spaz-lab of Chicago artists Jon Satron and Jason Soliday, celebrates how technology can revolutionize video art, but, paradoxically, revels in how limited some of that technology is. Their live performances and YouTube videos capture a pixelated meltdown in which rather low-rent digital animation and imagery—including those animated GIFs that used to flicker across your Geocities page back in 1998—intersects with glitchy, static-ridden music. They even claim to incorporate computer viruses into the mix.
