Ronen Goldstein is an Israeli-born artist living in Chicago, USA. His work surrounds topics of digital camp and fabulation through videos, sound/noise/music, and various games (both digital and analog). Ronen extends his video art to ephemeral live performances: VJ-ing for clubs, discotheques and rave spaces – combining retro-technologies, repositioning digital artifacts, and threading together homebrewed graphic SDKs (Software Development Kits). His live-video good-vibe moniker is Color Swim, an almost decade and a half old VJ group that frequently collaborates with other visual artists to perform alongside DJs, bands and audio artists. Ronen’s more play-based creations are syphoned through Color Swim Games, experimenting with fun mechanics and storytelling.
