ARTIST BIO
Jeff Donaldson began playing guitar at the age of 12 while making in-camera edits of local skateboarders. From 2000-2001, Jeff pursued a degree in jazz guitar and music composition at University. In 2001, a shift toward more visual work occurred which has lead to international recognition in new media art. During the 1st decade of the new millenium, Jeff was also part of the local Baltimore band Wzt Hearts with Jason Urick, Shaun Flynn and Mike Haleta. Wzt Hearts went on to release 2 full length LPs on Carpark/Hoss records gaining recognition by NME and Pitchfork as well as inspiring the British band Klaxons. Jeff currently resides in Brooklyn, NYC.
WORK
Jeff Donaldson began the noteNdo project in 2001 with the intent to create animation entirely with his own hardware modifications of 8bit NES and 16bit SEGA Genesis/Master Systems. There is no new code involved, only machine logic.
Since going public with the noteNdo, Jeff’s work has influenced people world-wide to try similar pursuits. This is most obvious with the release of glitchNES by Don Miller (No Carrier) in 2009 which is software for the NES that approximates an effect Jeff pioneered years earlier and which Don Miller was privy to observe working side by side with Donaldson at NYC’s monthly Pulsewave events. The inclusion of Jeff’s work in the release of Glitch: Designing Imperfection (2009 Mark Batty)further solidified Jeff’s stature as a pioneer in the field of glitch aesthetics. Past events include :: MEDIATECA EXPANDIDA.
