Biography
Egle Saka, a London-based graphic and video artist, with a creative practice in analog aesthetics, and new media art. She captures the nuanced textures within glitches, noise, and manipulated audio-visual signals, inviting contemplation of imperfections' beauty. Her portfolio spans analog and digital video, sound art, site-specific projections, and live audio-visual performances. Holding a BA degree in visual arts and printmaking, she produces graphics, album covers, and print designs. Additionally, she does video editing, analog visual effects, and produces experimental music videos and visualizers for various global record labels. Egle's work is featured in experimental art venues like IKLECTIK, New River Studios, and esteemed galleries such as Saatchi and Jealous, both in the UK and internationally.
Artist Statement:
I explore the fusion of new media art and analog glitch aesthetics, crafting immersive audiovisual spaces that transcend material boundaries. Capturing fleeting moments of consciousness within imperfections, my work leads audiences into contemplative dreamscapes where glitches spark reflection. As a nomad of visceral noise, I gather artifacts from the Mind Palace, creating compositions that challenge norms. My art triggers Glitch Catharsis, embracing chaos's transformative power, inviting viewers to uncover beauty in the unexpected. Through merging audio and visual expressions, I aim to evoke wonder, urging audiences to embrace unpredictability in both tangible and intangible realms.
