As the pandemic continued throughout 2020 and into 2021, they began inviting other artists to submit work to the fax machine. \u003ci\u003eOK, No Response\u003c\/i\u003e presents 140 examples of these works from 20 contributors: Juan Brenner, Antony Cairns, Madeline Cass, Jerald Cooper, Jeremy Everett, Christian Filardo, Fryd Frydendahl, Matthew Genitempo, Lucy Helton, Anthony Hernandez, Kovi Konowiecki, Gabby Laurent, Pixy Liao, Susan Lipper, Mark Mattock, Christian Patterson, Aaron Schuman, Bryan Schutmaat, Nick Sethi and Aaron Stern.\u003cbr\u003eThe transmission of these photographs reduced them to their most basic forms, introducing errors, static and random glitches. While the source images were varied and diverse, their translation, transmission and recomposition as thermal prints on paper unified them in surprising ways. What began as an impulse to connect during a time of isolation became an unexpected visual manifestation of our interconnectedness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAaron Stern\u003c\/b\u003e is a curator, writer and photographer based in New York City.
