�▲ This far up a Staircase to Nowhere, dimensions are not functioning like they normally do; //?? It feels like my sense of depth of field does not work ; …or maybe here, there is no depth ¿¿???…

Rosa Menkman is a Dutch artist and researcher of resolutions.
The journey of her protagonist, the Angel of History—inspired by Paul Klee’s 1920 monoprint, Angelus Novus, and conceptualized by Walter Benjamin in 1940—functions as a foundational framework for her explorations of image processing technologies.
In her written research, Rosa focuses on noise artifacts that result from accidents in both analog and digital media. As a compendium to this research, she published Glitch Moment/um (INC, 2011), a book on the exploitation and popularization of glitch artifacts.
She further explored the politics of image processing in Beyond Resolution (i.R.D., 2020). In this book, Rosa describes how the standardization of resolutions promotes efficiency, order, and functionality, but also involves compromises, resulting in the obfuscation of alternative ways of rendering. In 2019, Rosa won the Collide Arts at CERN Barcelona award, which inspired her recent research into im/possible images, consolidated in the im/possible images reader (published by the i.R.D. & Lothringer, with support from V2, 2022).
