Glitch Art Unit 3 Assignment
Superbowl Sunday is coming up and WIX is promoting it’s website tool with former NFL stars with the slogan “It’s that easy”.
A Wisconsin born girl – my blood runs green and gold. Brett Farve even with the controversy is still one of the greatest Packer players. The Farve and Carve spoof website has already drawn lots of views. True to #ds106 it employs audio, video, visual, writing – a nice example in itself.
For this visual assignment I made an animated GIF that is Glitch. VisualAssignments1239
Glitch art is a genre of art based around digital artifacts. A digital artifact is the unexpected result of when a technology breaks. An artifact could be sound of a CD skipping or pixilation on a highly compressed Youtube video. Glitch has been called the “art of the artifact” and stretching the intended use of a device or file.
This is done with the assistance of a coders tool from the glitch generator. Running the original picture thru the generator and downloading the different results.
I then imported them into gifmaker and rearranged to create the gif. It probably would have been good to add another untouched picture in the loop to give the viewer a little more time to see the image before it gets glitchy.
For some chuckles take a listen to the product pronunciation page in which audio clips are placed saying items “the Brett Way”. And as one looks at this set up – it is a digital story with a lot of nice techniques to keep in mind for future creations of my own.
Thoughts?
