Possibly Living People 2019
Digital image printed on vinyl |
|
Siebren Versteeg’s banner Possibly Living People, commissioned by the Dodd Galleries and produced by Fastsigns in Athens, GA, is a provisional memorial commemorating approximately 5,661 people who may or may not be alive today. Versteeg culled the information from a Wikipedia Category page that lists the full names of people whom according to the site,“It is not definitively known whether the people in this category are currently living or not.” Mimicking the effects of etched names on stone found on memorials and grave sites, Versteeg interrogates the limits of the internet via a factual database of uncertainty. Or as he describes it, “The more you know, the more you don’t know.” The artist often writes digital algorithms to manipulate and present data to create his works of art. “As someone who works with software and live data feeds, my medium is ultimately in continuous flux and difficult to contain,” Versteeg explains, “I am interested in the voracious appetite for inclusion and affirmation that life online exposes. The need to expose, publish, and bear witness to ourselves can be seen as analogous to the need for object or artifact that we all too often understand as a prerequisite of art.” As such, his concern is mirrored in this presentation; a relatively flimsy vinyl banner printed at a company called Fastsigns; an ephemeral memorializing of an indeterminate and contemporary history.

Today's Paper (with flies) 2019
Internet connected computer program output to 4K monitor |
|
Depicts a self-portrait image of the artist seated in front of their NYC studio reading a newspaper. The paper's image within is updated with the latest edition daily; continuosly reflecting the passing of time and the news of the moment. Over the course of a 24 hour cycle, algorithmically animated flies appear within the tableau with increasing frequency.

Truisms 2018
Internet connected computer program output to 4k monitor, custom matte, frame |
|
Truisms takes initial cues from Jenny Holzer’s text based works of the same name. In Versteeg’s work, linguistic phrases from Holzer are used as a jumping off point for visual content and interpretation. Images based on the Holzer phrases and Googled in real-time are continuously incorporated into an endless array of rich compositions which refresh every 3 minutes before disappearing forever.
These 4k resolution virtual paintings incorporate elements from Versteeg’s practice of algorithmic code works which collide choice and chance to reveal ongoing perspectives about the world we inhabit and collectively document through participation in digital culture.

LOSSES 2015
4 computers, 4 videos, ouput to 4 LCD screens |
|
a 4-channel asycronous video installation made up of videos downloaded from the Inernet of "Speed Paintings". Each "Speed Painting" artist has uploaded time-lapsed documentation of their photoshop labor, making photorealistc portraits of each of the castmembers of the T.V. series LOST. Now pulled from the web, the videos have
been slowed down to 2-3% of their posted duration to reflect the exact amount of time that their original authors claim
to have taken to produce them. The 4 works in the installation run from 2.5 to 4 hours; each at immenslely slow
framerates; always in motion, but barely discernable to the human eye.
