This paper provides a comprehensive examination of the ex_mairu01 video corpus, a series of experimental audiovisual works situated at the intersection of digital collage, glitch art, and internet folk culture. By analyzing the series through the lenses of remediation, hyperpop aesthetics, and algorithmic semiotics, this study argues that ex_mairu01 functions not merely as a compilation of edited clips, but as a critique of digital saturation. The paper explores the series’ signature visual techniques—rapid montage, chromatic aberration, and datamoshing—and situates them within the broader context of the "post-internet" art movement.
Following Rosa Menkman’s Glitch Studies Manifesto , the series embraces the "artifact." Compression blocks, datamoshing (where I-frames are removed to smear movement across frames), and audio clipping are features, not bugs. The work suggests a "broken" reality, reflecting a worldview where technology is no longer seamless but visibly cracking under the weight of its own complexity. ex_mairu01 videos
