The haphazard stitching together of elements is Atkin\u2019s signature. His video works are like a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey using sound, imagery, pacing and tone.<\/p>\n<p class=size--small><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18445\" alt=\"Video detail of Ribbons by Ed Atkins taken with Samsung Galaxy Alpha\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/4.png\" width=\"716\" height=\"403\" \/> Video detail of Ribbons by Ed Atkins taken with Samsung Galaxy Alpha<\/p>\n<p>The line through the work seems to be a preoccupation with (dis)embodiment and (un)being; a clear interest in mediation. Atkins takes turns at bridging and dividing virtual and physical vessels, relishing the chance to embrace the corporeal grotesque (the fleshy, liquid mess of the body) through technology: exquisitely rendered genitals and the carnal sounds of consumption and expulsion let rip loudly and often from his work.<\/p>\n<p class=size--small><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18444\" alt=\"Video still of Ribbons by Ed Atkins taken with the Samsung Galaxy Alpha\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/6.png\" width=\"716\" height=\"403\" \/> Video still of Ribbons by Ed Atkins taken with the Samsung Galaxy Alpha<\/p>\n<p>Atkins also has a thing for communication, aside from visual cues including tattoos (\u201cwet thing\u201d, \u201cbankrupt\u201d, \u201ctroll\u201d) highly stylized banners and DOGs (digital on-screen graphics), his CG avatar is often speaking or singing. Occasionally the language makes clean, precise sense; otherwise, it\u2019s poetically splintered gibberish, like the muddled output from a machine or organism riddled with infection, malware or time. But the metric by which Atkins selects his material is completely obtuse. Any meaning is encrypted in lemons, shattered highballs and Bach.<\/p>\n<p class=size--small><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18443\" alt=\"A #SleekAlphaSelfie taken with the Samsung Galaxy Alpha\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/7.jpg\" width=\"716\" height=\"650\" \/> A #SleekAlphaSelfie taken with the Samsung Galaxy Alpha<\/p>\n<p><strong>Text by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/tag\/ella-plevin\/\">Ella Plevin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>To see more from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/category\/me-myself-and-art\/\">Me, Myself and Art<\/a>\u00a0series and to enter to win a Samsung Galaxy Alpha of your own, check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sleekalpha.tumblr.com\/\">our #SleekAlphaSelfie competition<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/sleekalpha.tumblr.com\/\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out previous entries here on our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sleekalpha.tumblr.com\/\">#SleekAlphaSelfie Tumblr<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video still from Ribbons by Ed Atkins taken with the Samsung Galaxy Alpha.
