    This exhibition by Trinidad-born artist Rodell Warner features a series of animated GIFs derived from archival, public-domain images distorted through optics of technology and time. Digitally-scanned visuals available online and free of copyright restrictions represent an institutionalized history filled with voids, inaccuracies, and erasure. Through digital intervention, Warner generates hybrid narratives, complicating the authority of archives and re-evaluating subjective relationships to captured images.
