YouTube Drawings

In an attempt to disrupt the haphazard collection of archieved videos that youtube has become, the artist duo Comenius Roethlisberger and Admir Jahic transformed the visual (virtual) language of “broadcasting” back into physicality by producing illustrations on a heavy handmade paper from virtual references with elemental art materials to do what they do best, that is, add to the confusion.

In each drawing, the artists have rendered a freeze-frame, complete with video title, user ratings and number of views. The resulting collection is both distressing and humorous in its ability to highlight our often vulgar predilections.
