In Emma Safir’s recent series “Raising Glitches” the wavy textures of a screen (one that that often appears when trying to, say, photograph a meme on your desktop with your phone) are printed so up-close it’s almost difficult to recognize what they are, unless viewed a few steps back. The multimedia works also incorporate photographs that are plastered or printed onto, then loosely ruched or pasted on the walls behind the works. Her transfer of images across dimensions and mediums represents the incredible mobility of images in the digital age.
