LoVid: Threaded Frequencies

GAZELL.iO is pleased to announce a new exhibition Threaded Frequencies, by LoVid in our Project Space, presenting a selection of key recent and historical works. This follows on from the artist duo’s GAZELL.iO digital residency in November 2024. Known for their layered approach to craft, code, and handmade hardware, LoVid brings together embroidered textiles and experimental video to reflect on the porous boundaries between organic and digital forms.

The exhibition coincides with LoVid’s inclusion in two major institutional exhibitions: Electric Op at the Musée d’arts de Nantes (travelling from the Buffalo AKG Museum), and Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms, opening July 2025 at the Toledo Museum of Art.

LoVid’s practice explores the boundaries between the digital and the tactile, the bodily and the virtual. Their embroidered works echo the glitches and textures of analogue video, while their moving image pieces conjure a sense of sensory dissonance—where sound and pattern unfold with visceral immediacy. By reimagining the visual language of early electronic media through hand-crafted processes, LoVid resists the slickness of commercial digital aesthetics, offering instead a layered, embodied experience of contemporary technological life.

Throughout their two-decade collaboration, LoVid has developed a singular visual and sonic language—rooted in experimentation, intimacy, and resistance to obsolescence. The works presented in Threaded Frequencies trace the tension between connection and interference, nature and signal, permanence and decay.

Additional new tapestries by LoVid will be unveiled in July in a room in the gallery’s main space, timed to coincide with Jane McAdam Freud: An Absent Presence, a major retrospective of the British sculptor presented in dialogue with works by Louise Bourgeois and Holly Stevenson.
