Tonight sees I Am Sitting In A Room being screened as part of GLI.TC/H. After a Panel Discussion at 4pm at SAIC Flaxman Theatre we move onto Transistor for the screening, starting at 8pm. You’re definitely in for a treat from some of the best benders, moshers, glitchers and [insert glitch sub-genre here]. Check the schedule for more awesome events
The gallery exhibition opening at Roxaboxen was a huge success. Glitches are clearly hot right now. The Interpretations of Reality glitch zines went down well, but through getting them reproduced at FedEx I started gathering ideas and thoughts about the copy effect, whereby noise artifacts appear as you begin to make copies of copies. I will definitely be exploring this idea at a later date.
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 can be mutated through different ways of manipulating it, specifically through glitch art.
What is presented is the simple manipulation of the cover image over twelve pages.
In my never-ending quest to explore glitch art off the screen, what then intrigued me was how I could print this. I then had the idea to print these images onto of printed material. In this way we see how glitches can alter our perception of already existing media. Does it add to or detract from the original intent or is it even noticeable?
To pay homage to zine culture I’ve use pages from some of the zines that I’ve collected over the years as well as found papers that have been clogging up my inbox.
The zines are now for sale. Contact me for more information!
