The series is focused on how the rise of an ideology, in this case the Islamic revolution of Iran 1978, can transform the visual elements of cultural products and suggest aesthetics. I have collected more than 200 hundred issues of the Iranian magazine Zan-e Rooz, published between from 1975 to 1981.
The content of the magazine would offer a tangible handhold for viewers interested in understanding the political and culturaltransformation of Iran, and the visual correspondents therein. I have started painting the covers of the Iranian magazines and advertisements, specifically those from the few years before and after of the 1978 Islamic revolution of Iran trying to underestand and represente this sudden daramatic change through the slow pace of an old medium like painting.

Running Rabbits, refers to the visual phenomenon of useless data skittering across a radar display screen, which occurs when a radar signal is disrupted by another in close proximity.

I try to adopt the visual style of new media to explore of the power of imagery in constructing contemporary consciousness. Source images are Drawing from online news and historical references, I manipulates them until they resemble corrupted image files, using exacting painterly techniques that approximate pixilation and glitch-like repetitions.

I chose charged pictures that are considered the documentation of social or political incidents. Since there are public agreements about what they purport to depict, there is often less conversation about what they are as objects with physical properties. Living in Iran, I saw glitchy images on the TV everyday, because the Iranian government was sending noise to prevent free access to particular tv channels- a technique called satellite jamming. I gradually became conscious of what was happening when the glitch occurred on the screen. It was a moment of separation between what images manifest, and what are they made of.
