About
Why this artist matters now
Petra Cortright works in digital video and net-based media, centering her practice on compression, pixelation, and the material conditions of image display across screens and networks. Rather than treating digital artifacts and glitches as failures, she positions them as formal subjects in their own right, exploring how the visual byproducts of internet transmission carry aesthetic and conceptual weight. Her work engages with the specificity of digital material since the early 2000s.
