Last night team GLI.TC/H was hard at work getting the gallery at Roxaboxen ready.
The gallery opening kicks off at 6:30pm at Roxaboxen and features work from some really great glitch art, videos and artware (oh, and one of my pieces). Be there.
After many sleepless horse my bumper for GLI.TC/H is complete. It’s a collection of many different glitch techniques including vector glitching and compressing to 1 bit images. You can see some progress shots on flickr
Play very loud.
On Thursday 16th September I’ll be giving a talk at Birmingham Linux User Group about the issues affecting artists who adopt open source and free culture into their practice.
I have done a talk about open source and art once before at the LUG, which was well received despite the audience being mostly techies (maybe they’re artists at heart!). This talk extends greatly on what was said and goes into issues of copyright and what experiences I’ve had as an artist in the open source world
Thursday 16th September, 7:30pm start
Aston Science Park [map]. If you can’t make it the whole thing will be broadcast online and made available for streaming shortly afterwards.
The first issue of Dirty Bristow is out now and features a part-glitch illustration by me.
For the theme of this issue, Birth, I was asked to illustrate an article by up-and-coming funny man Harry Vale that goes on to detail his experience of doing stand-up comedy for the first time:
It’s a torrid tale about losing my virginity, punctuated by the revelation that it was brutally robbed from me by my own father. There are gasps, groans, and then finally laughs. Worry not, dear reader, my anal virginity is still intact (and available for a modest fee); it was just the truly awful and hackneyed opening joke of my first ever stand-up comedy gig.
You wouldn’t guess it from the extremely high quality of the magazine, but it’s all self-financed and published by apparent geniuses Jon Bounds and Danny Smith who have, to my knowledge, never ventured into publishing territory. It very much fits in with the zine ethos, especially as they make a point to give each contributor as much freedom as possible and steer clear of advertisements.
Go grab a copy now!
They’re also looking for contributors for the next issue, so support your local publishing scene and get in touch.
