2021 Exhibition
28. Night Vision, Mind Frame, Brain Wave
Artist Information
Uniquely defying the trappings of any genre, Fried’s optical illusions transmit an air of primordial longing, with the artist’s own audio compositions syncopating the flow. A multidisciplinary maker who shifted the course of animation with his uniquely rhythmic shorts, Fried’s looping animations fuse timeless nirvana with digital discord. In artworks captured one frame at a time and destroyed through creation – these motion paintings continually regenerate themselves.

Jake Fried
Jake Fried (b.1984) uses ink and white-out to generate hallucinatory vistas, modifying and shooting the images over and over to create mind-bending animations that evolve at a frenzied pace. His experimental films have been widely exhibited internationally, including at the Tate Modern and Sundance Film Festival. He has created commissioned work for clients including Adult Swim and Netflix.
