To move at high speed
An archival file format that supports lossless data compression
To unzip a file is to extract the individual components and download them to a personal device
To secure a garment
To unzip a fly, to undress, to reveal–skin, flesh
A sudden brief hissing or whizzing sound, as of a bullet
Zero or nothing
North are excited present Nathan Jokovich’s latest body of work, ‘ZIP’.
‘This series of works were predominantly created using the flatbed scanner as an imaging device. I consider the images produced to be fragments of the aftermath of a performance. Thinking of the scanner as a form of resistance to AI, using an outdated modality generally reserved for creating and archiving copies or original documents. It also serves as a device to dissolve delineation between artistic mediums–photography, painting and performance. The act of scanning also has broad reaching implications in relation to data capture through surveillance to feed AI systems.’ Nathan Jokovich
