Re’Search Wait’S (Edit One: Re’search Missing corruption Budget) by Ryan Trecartin

Ryan Trecartin’s videos conjure alternate realities that are populated by a motley cast of unstable, often ambiguously gendered characters, some of which are played by Trecartin himself. These characters rush around screaming with abandon accompanied by a cacophony of digital effects, hyperactive editing, and candy-colored face paint, as if they were the product of an Internet fever dream. By far the best work from the group show The Generational: Younger Than Jesus, at the New Museum, 235 Bowery, New York. Photo Olivier Zahm
