Tracing Maps I & II
Collage can work as an axis for relating to a ready-montaged reality, and can expose the building blocks of our subjective formation. Regardless of medium, Joost takes found or made material out of its original context and introduces it into a new one in order to generate meanings that were previously latent, concealed or non-existent. They collect the residue of scraping the surface of their daily interfaced reality (phone recordings, doodly drawings, screenshots, phrases, YouTube videos or gifs). Through these everyday materials they reflect on the characteristics of each medium and the conventions that are tied to them. Recently Joost's material focus is on their archive of phone camera footage, and office supply paper and pens, to research where one medium ends and the next begins. How do their conventions influence what someone can imagine making in that medium? For example, how do the tech-specs of a phone camera determine what ends up in one's personal archive? These imposing conventions are never neutral, but neither are they absolute. Joost searches for the hidden possibilities of these media by playing in their fringes. With empty markers, glitches in the phone camera, wet a4 paper, ball pen on crayon or oversaturated memes, they search for the glitch in these materials. It is usually seen as an error, but Legacy Russel writes about the glitch that 'liberation can be found within the fissures between gender, technology and the body'; the glitch as a small rupture to create an opening in what seems like a sealed and immovable system.
