Isabella Uliasz
Isabella Uliasz is a multimedia artist based in Providence, RI. My work prioritizes conceptual investment, specifically in physical modes of embodiment and immateriality, and in disidentification of form. I study optical and photic phenomena and employ these mechanics in my practice to manifest fabricated dimensions, installations, video compositions, performances, and image-based byproducts. Isabella comes from a background in printmaking, and sometimes produces open editions of printed material. I received an MFA from Alfred University’s Electronic Integrated Arts program in 2021, and a BFA in Printmaking from University of Connecticut’s School of Fine Arts in 2019.
Video Landscape
Video Landscape print series samples imagery from video experiments that center glitched and processed footage. The imagery is a hybrid of the natural landscape and the unknowable mechanism of glitch. Glitch asks us to consider the impact we have on the things we perceive, and to engage with uncertainty both critically and with acceptance of its inevitability. The language of the prints is recursive, with painterly gestures referencing the instability, randomness, and obfuscation of digital glitch. A horizon is remixed and presented as an abstraction of time, both fixed and infinitely unfolding.
