Ava Zevop: In the Beginning, There Was Static ... In the End, There Was the Webbed Wide World

A view of Ava Zevop's "In the Beginning, There Was Static ... In the End, There Was the Webbed Wide World", exhibited at osmo/za (Ljubljana, SI) in November 2022.
In the Beginning, There Was Static ... In the End, There Was the Webbed Wide World by Ava Zevop explores how synthetic media complicate the relationship between the image and the world. The project traverses various media entanglement - from generated imagery and text, through visual datasets and the World Wide Web, to digital photography and analogue television - and explores how echoes of past visual media and technologies are reflected in the aesthetics and semantics of a new visual paradigm shaped by AI processes.
