In the countdown to the Art F City 10th Anniversary Auction honoring artist Laurie Anderson, we’ll be previewing GIFs from our 10th Anniversary GIF and Print Portfolio, a limited-edition suite of prints and GIFs that includes work by Morehshin Allahyari, Jennifer Chan, Faith Holland, Sara Ludy, Claudia Maté, Rosa Menkman, Lorna Mills, Eva Papamargariti, Angela Washko, and Giselle Zatonyl. Today we’re looking at Jennifer Chan’s “lossy.gif.”
Jennifer Chan knows what she’s doing. As soon as I clicked on a Dropbox link to view “lossy.gif” I thought of Joan Jonas’s “Vertical Roll” (1972). And yes, Chan notes it’s a reference in “lossy.gif”—she knows what she’s doing.
