ABOUT THE ARTIST
Oz Van Rosen is an artist based in New York and Southampton. Using the underlying technology of photography, her art is created by randomly corrupting, bending and destroying digital data in an image to create an unpredictable aesthetic. By turning pixels into paintbrushes, she pushes the boundaries of photography into new visual possibilities, creating unique images that defer to the whim of technology. Oz studied art at the New York School of the Arts.

ABOUT THIS ARTWORK
Using the magic of technology to blend imagery this work was created in 2020. At the peak of the pandemic, the country and the world seemed to undergo a great divide. Both the social justice movement and forest fires were raging in California. The US as well the rest of the world bled, figuratively and literally. Everything seemed scorched.
