Collin Zipp is a multidisciplinary video/digital artist who obtained his BFA from the University of Manitoba’s School of Art. His video work uses various experimental techniques to explore human perception and memory. Raw video footage is manipulated, and imperfections in the data caused by the technology are utilized to make the medium more self-evident; and create a lo-fi aesthetic.

" The imagery within my work results as direct responses to my surrounding environments; I am interested in the ways in which technology can change our natural environments. I am exploring these notions by physically manipulating digital video imagery. I investigate the notion that digital video is an invulnerable form of recording; immune to the information loss and physical degradation of analog. The physical forces I inflict upon the footage transforms the original video and alters its' perception which in turn alters the perception of the environments/subjects within the videos. I hope to examine the fragility of the digital medium contrasted against the fragile state of our environments.

I am also interested in exploring the medium of video as a recording device contrasted against the medium of film. As the structural filmmakers of the 60’s and 70’s studied the grain of the film itself to explore the illusion of reality which the moving image can dictate, I aim to explore the pixels and digital code within the data; examining the reality and physicality of the medium. I use the flaws inherent within the technology to comment on their place and context within our world in accordance with my personal observations. "
