Title
Glitch Art
Description
My earliest memory of a glitch was sometime in the late 1970s. My Dad brought home a futuristic-looking calculator from work. It had a bright yellow LCD. And if you pressed two keys at the same time, scary-looking fragmented numbers appeared on the display. Fantastic! (I was about 7 years old, and easily amused.)
By the early 1980s, I was playing with the early crop of home computers, such as the Sinclair ZX81 and Dragon 32. It was about this time that I discovered the esoteric beauty of computer crashes, tape loading screens, memory visualisation, loose cartridges, and what happens when you run out of 1K of memory.
My glitch art site began in July 2001. By January 2006 it had over 400 images, but then I decided to start over with fresh work. I'm slowly moving away from pure digital glitches, towards physical artworks which combine aspects of the glitch aesthetic with traditional photographic printmaking.
