Admir Jahic & Comenius Roethlisberger - Immortaliser les vidéos epic du net. ShareThis In an attempt to disrupt the haphazard collection of archived videos that YouTube has become, artist duo Comenius Roethlisberger and Admir Jahic transformed the visual (and virtual) language of “broadcasting” into a physical medium by producing illustrations and recreating virtual references by allowing elemental art materials to do what they do best.
The two artists literally captured hundreds of individual frames from popular and bizarre YouTube videos and rendered them in colored pencil on handmade paper. close-up: More examples (cropped for better visibility): Drawings from the project were recently on exhibit at Colette where you can still find some available for purchase: and here's part of the installation at Miami Basel: as well as an installation in Kuwait: Many of the captured frames are from some of the most popular and well-known YouTube videos. Each is available for purchase. A review of the project, WITHOUT YOU BABY, THERE AIN’T NO US by Harlan Levey (Modart Magazine): Ursus Wehrli - L'art de tout ranger. Markus Reugels - Art liquide. Spencer Tunick - Saturation de nus. Jenny Saville - Portraits à facture violente.
