Check out my arts!

I thought I'd post a few pics of what I do in my time when I'm not perusing bluelight. Mods, feel free to merge this with a catch-all art thread if appropriate.

Comments/criticisms/love welcome =D

J,

I did a bit of layering with GIMP but the bulk of the distortion comes from this


Corrupt™ is a web based Glitch Art Software allowing its user to upload and share corrupted images on www.corrupt.ie

Corrupt™ was first built with Proce55ing. The corruption process starts by reading the binary code of an image file [JPG or GIF]; then arbitrary bytes are swapped [the number of replacements is a random value from 1 to 20]. The file is then "saved as" a new document. Depending on the number of replacements and the original compression, the file will have a completely different and unpredictable image or aesthetic. So from a single image, the program can generate millions of corrupted versions. Because it literally corrupts the binary code of the file, some of the results are so damaged that they are actually rendered unviewable. The project is now available online for anyone who wants to corrupt a JPG image.

This PHP version has been realised in collaboration with BlueMelon, thanks to them.

pretty cool imo
 
slef, I agree that your shit is awesome. I'm really into glitchy stuff in everything from music, videos, imagery, etc. I often try to create a glitchy vibe in some of the work that I do. I'm gonna have to check out that program!

You familiar with the video stylings of Chris Cunningham? That's the kind of direction your stuff looks to be going. Very cool!

I love Cunninham's works, and most definitely appreciate the kind words. I'd like to dedicate more time to bit-crushing/distorting my photos etc. but it's taking a back seat to my audio productions. Soon as I'm afforded some more time I definitely plan on merging the two. Really hoping to do this soon....
 
You sound a lot like me! I've got way too many "unfinished" projects that I'm trying to find a way to fuse together. Video/Photography/Drawings/Music. I want to do something that combines all my interests, but it's a hard task for me to complete while working a full time job. One day I gotta get this damn thing (life) figured out so that I can give myself the ample opportunity to create a project.
 
Definitely. There'd be times where I'd want to lock myself away from the outside world or try to bang things out in an 8 hour session; all of which were just about impossible.
