The Art of Glitch?
What is a Glitch?
A glitch is a short-lived fault in a system. It is often used to describe a transient fault that corrects its self an, and is therefore diffucult to troubleshoot. The term is particularly common in the computing and electronic industries, and in circuit bending, as well as among players of video games, although it is applied to all types of systems including human organizations and nature. The term derives from the German glitschig meaning 'slippery', possibly entering English through the Yiddish term glitsh.
What is Glitch Art?
Glitch Art is the aestheticization of digital or analog erros, such as artificats and other "bugs", but either corrupting digital code/data or by physically manipulating electronic devices (for example by circuit bending).
Can Glitches be seen as a good thing?
EARLY WORK EXAMPLES
EARLY WORK EXAMPLES
Here I have chosen to glitch and recreate images of my niece. I decided to use these particular images as they show a different angles of her and my work is looking into faded memories and faces. As she is young and still growing I decided to use her for an early example and experimentation. When she is older she will not really remember these images been taken of her, so the glitches represent memories being some what forgotten over the years. I think these images are very effective and I will be experimenting further with these.
Here is another example of a glitch image taken of my niece.
