Instead, just a table, long and bare, stands on an empty beach. Without human presence, the table looks out of place and useless, as if its only purpose were to disrupt the stretched smoothness of the coast.

Several other clips recall online videos that have only partially loaded...

No, you’re not witnessing the result of a bad download; you’re watching “Lossless #1,” the first piece in the fall exhibition Lossless at the Carpenter Center’s Sert Gallery. Lossless is a collection of five deconstructed and digitally reworked films by artists Rebecca Baron and Douglas Goodwin. Inspired by the contemporary trend of file sharing, Baron and Goodwin altered the films by manipulating the technology behind them. Interruption of data streaming, the removal of basic information, and other digital methods allow...
