Julián Brangold's work explores the visual and symbolic structures that emerge from contemporary internet culture and the broader technological complex. Moving across digital image making and AI assisted processes, painting and print, video, sound design and installation, his practice examines how online aesthetics shape perception, memory, and the ways images circulate and accumulate meaning. Brangold often works through remixing and iteration, drawing from memetics and obscure internet niches, viral phenomena, and the flow of the digital feed. His projects investigate how images mutate as they move through networks, how context erodes online, and how new forms of significance appear through the friction between understanding and ambiguity. Brangold’s work has been presented in exhibitions in Argentina and internationally, reflecting an ongoing interest in the shifting relationship between technology, visual culture, and the construction of concensus.

ANGELS OF HISTORY

GROUP EXHIBITION
 UVNT Art Fair
 Madrid, Spain
2025
DESCRIPTION

A series of five portraits UV printed on metal panels and finished with a second layer of UV printed transparent acrylic. Each work revisits the “angel of history,” the widely recycled intellectual figure drawn from Walter Benjamin’s writing, and considers how this symbol has shifted within the language of the contemporary feed. In recent years, the angel has circulated through online theory communities as a kind of mascot, repeatedly quoted, referenced, and remixed until it became a small viral phenomenon. The series engages that circulation, treating the figure not as a fixed philosophical emblem but as an image shaped by repetition, fad, and the fast pace of digital culture. The works were presented at UVNT in Madrid, Spain in 2024.
