Serena Zam - Memoryscape 1
24” x 36”
Framed Inkjet Print, Edition 1/1 + 1AP
The Memoryscape series explores the question: What would the materiality of my memories look like? Composed of layers and layers of photos I took over the span of many months, each piece is a postcard from my inner landscapes sent by my past selves. I manipulated the resulting collages’ raw image data by removing and rearranging sections of binary code (datamoshing), a process that mirrors what Memory loses to Time.
Artist Bio:
Serena Zam is an artist living and making in Austin, Texas. Her work has been featured in shows throughout the city and state, most recently at the Museum of Human Achievement, The Lockh(ART) House (Lockhart, TX), Almost Real Things HQ, The Contemporary Austin - Laguna Gloria, and The Red River Valley Museum (Vernon, TX). Though she has a background in Computer Science, she often prefers to use more traditional techniques—oil painting, weaving, printmaking, and collage—over digital or software-based mediums. Instead, technology is most present in her work thematically, as she uses her practice to abstractly contemplate the impact and ethics of the devices, algorithms, and machines that saturate modern life. She is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin.
