glitch

  • A Short Introduction

    Since I was introduced glitch art last May I’ve really been hooked on exploring this technique and how it can affect my artwork. One thing that I’ve never done is to explain why I do this, so here it goes! For me glitch art is about exploring the boundaries in which things will operate…

  • Dataface update

    Dataface is coming along rather nicely! It looks different from my previous updates as I’m using a different method for glitching the typeface. This may change yet again if a script that I’m working on decides to work.

  • Interpretations of Reality

    On 8th April I took a self-prescribed zine making day. Ever since the Gallery Of Owls meetup last year I’ve been increasingly interested in zines as a means of communication and the DIY scene as a whole. After many failed ideas I finally settled on showing the journey of a pixel and how it…

  • Where does it all go wrong?

    I recently turned on the TV to find that the channel it was last on was totally glitching! What I kept trying to figure out was where the glitch was occurring. Sure, it’s on screen, but what part of the signal is getting errors? I imagine that there’s three places it could’ve gone wrong:…

  • Glitched Badges

    Badges from my video are now available from the Created in Birmingham shop! This marks somewhat of a new shift for me as it’s the second time that I’ve taken glitch off the screen and into a more physical form. I do like that when I sent the images to print I received this…

  • It’s Just Noise!

    As readers of my blog will know by now you can easily import any data into audacity and play it as audio. However, most data that you’ll import and then play will just turn out as noise. That is simply because there’s too much noise in the image i.e. too many colours and too…

  • Lost in the Shell

    As a result of the GNOME Usability Hackfest I’ve been trying out the GNOME Shell a lot. Although the result of an error with graphics cards I quite like the output of the integrated Screencast feature (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + R) with the cursor almost seeming lost

  • Preserving the glitch

    On Thursday 4th March I took part in the AntsArtJam at BitJam in Stoke-on-Trent. Three canvases were set up on the stage and artists were invited to get creative on them as the night went on. Those who know me will know that live art is not something that I’ve really done before. I’ve…

  • Dataface update

    You may remember from my earlier blog post that I’ve been working on a databent typeface. It was mentioned a fair while back now, but I have been doing bits of work on it every now and then. Here’s a bit of my progress so far: Ass you can see some of the characters…

  • Visualising BitJam

    On Thursday 4th February I was Stoke-on-Trent for BitJam. I still don’t have anything ready to show on stage but thought I’d use the night as a testing ground for some of my ideas. I wanted to investigate ways in which to interpret what was happening around me. The main performance of the night…
