A hundred cycles from now, the Angel of History (now grown to become a media archaeologist) returns to her hyper–Yves Klein Blue–saturated cube, where she reflects on a day that began in misery: she fractured her beloved Hologram Rose.
Determined to repair her Hologram Rose, she visited the i.R.D. De/Calibration Target Target, a repository and memorial to dead codecs. With the mission to retrieve a baseline-JPEG quantization table and some Huffman maps. Tools that have long been obsolete but, she hopes, may help recalibrate the Rose.

The Shredded Hologram Rose is inspired by "Fragments of a Hologram Rose," a 1977 science fiction short story by William Gibson.
The Hologram Rose was inspired and informed by Alan Warburtons RGBFAQ
An earlier short video work was created for the group exhibition Fragments of a Hologram Rose curated by Rick Silva for Feral File(29 June 2021). The work was extended for the opening keynote at IMPAKT Festival: The Curse of Smooth operations and NAC Memory Card festival. The Shredded Hologram Rose references the DeCalibration target and im/possible images.

“From the shredded side of a Hologram, one can peek into the 3D objects’ Delta Axis. From this perspective, one can see the Holograms render objects, which form a repository of layered information about the Holograms provenance, metadata, and other information that the unscathed Hologram would never prevail.”
