Our mission is to promote glitch art, in order to make it better known and more respected. We are also trying to show the world that hacking the human image is not a crime, but a new form of contemporary art.
Glitch art is not about destroying images or damaging the work of others. It’s about finding creative ways to use their mistakes, errors and bugs as a source of inspiration.
Glitch art is not about breaking into someone’s computer and destroying their files, or changing their data without asking permission. The practice of “hacking” was originally developed by people who wanted to explore technical systems without any criminal intentions.
Our goal is to make glitch art more popular among artists and buyers, and remove its negative connotations with authorities and other people who might otherwise try to stop it.”
Glitch art is a contemporary art movement that uses errors in digital image processing to produce unexpected results.
The term glitch art was first coined by the artist Jose Manuel Ballesteros and has been further popularised by Flickr’s group Glitchess. Glitch art is also distinguished from data visualisation, which aims to provide a transparent representation of data. In glitch art, images are generated through unconventional methods (such as error-inducing computer programs or chemical processes) that distort their aesthetic qualities.
Glitch artists question and critique technology as well as authority and the value of aesthetics. They often collaborate with hackers to expose security vulnerabilities, and thus uncover and challenge the social structures behind them.
Glitch art shows up in many different forms, including audio, video, numerical form and physical objects. This blog explores the world of glitch art, artist and buyers alike.
The art movement glitch art, which is really a form of digital art, was born by the author after he discovered an unknown error in the program Photoshop. The glitch occurs when the image is damaged and becomes corrupted.
This blog will present real examples of images created by artists from all over the world and some related to this movement.
We will talk about ideas, artworks, history, exhibitions and projects.
This blog was created with the purpose of spreading this new artistic movement to the largest audience possible and give visibility to all its creators. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do creating it.
Glitch art is the creation of unexpected beauty by removing the veil of perfection from a digital image. The glitch artist touches the digital canvas with a brush made of errors, creating a new and sometimes even more beautiful image that is neither original nor intentional. Glitch art is not a crime in any country. It does not harm any living thing. It is not vandalism. Glitch art is an honest expression of the human existence, an expression that can be found in both ancient cave drawings and contemporary photography.
The very first glitch art work was done by an artist known as tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE (a member of The Church of the SubGenius). He used his glitching technique for making art as early as in 1984. tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE believes that glitch art has been with us since ancient times, it’s just that we didn’t pay attention to it before: “We take visual glitches for granted because they are so common — but they are actually quite beautiful.”
Glitch artists use many different techniques to create images. Some use Photoshop while others use other tools such as Adobe After Effects or Flash. Sound editing software like Logic Pro X can be used to make music from glitches, and some artists
Glitch art is a style of image manipulation that creates results which look as if they’ve come from a malfunctioning computer. It’s not a new art form, but it’s seeing an unprecedented level of interest at the moment.
Glitch art uses techniques such as data corruption, memory errors and bitmap effects to achieve the desired result. No two pieces are alike, as each is created by hand – or rather, by mouse! The end results are images with distorted colors, missing sections, and even text in alien languages or gibberish.
It’s easy to see why glitch art has inspired so much interest recently: it looks cool and mysterious. But what do people actually do with it?
First of all, it’s worth noting that glitch art isn’t really a single genre. It can refer to digital images which show glitches of any kind, or to found objects which have been altered using various methods – regardless of whether they look like glitches or not.
Glitch art can be divided into two broad categories: abstract images and functional objects. The former is more widespread than the latter – but the latter has the potential to be much more interesting.
Functional glitch objects are those which have been corrupted in some way in order to subvert their original
Glitch Art is a genre of art based on the accidental or intentional corruption of digital media. The term Glitch Art was coined by visual artist, Pascal Glissmann in the early 90’s and was developed further by R.M. Seitz, David Bollier and others in 1997 with their seminal publication “Glitchart: The Marginalized Media” (http://www.glitchet.com/glitch/).
Glitch Art is a growing genre of visual art which has been recently gaining increasing recognition as an artistic expression of our time. It manifests itself in many different forms including photography, video, animation and installation art as well as software art, net art and Web art.
In the field of photography Glitch Art usually involves creating images by altering film negatives or photographs either through physically manipulating the medium or by digitally altering the image through image editing software (Photoshop), or some combination of both techniques. A number of photographers are known for creating glitch works such as John Divola, Eric Constant, Benoit Paillé, François Curlet, Lorenzo Cavallaro, Jason Salavon and Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin who have published several books on the subject such as “Glitched: Glitches in Photography”, “Pict
It is also impossible to forget that we are supposed to be progressing, as soon as possible, to a world without any artists or art critics. This will happen when the computer becomes able to do everything.
All these, and many other obvious questions, are left unanswered.
Regardless of the fact that the artist obviously has some advanced knowledge of computers and programming, this is not art. This is a very clear case of vandalism, which should be prosecuted. And other cases like this one should be prevented by punishing the perpetrators in advance.
