glitche

"Glitche" derives from the idea of a glitch, error, or unexpected malfunction in a system. The piece emulates refractions of this common human experience feature and places it into an immersive installation composed of animation, sound, light, and sculpture.

The concept and composition plays off of ‘datamoshing’, an interlaced video broadcast error which is the result of multiple frames of pixels smearing their color, brightness, and image together creating visual abstract artifacts. 

Similar to datamoshing, humans experience adjacent sensations of past experiences smearing, moshing, and colliding with the present in the form of a malfunction. This encounter could result in positive new discovery or disastrous ending. The artwork attempts to drop into the place of that delicate intersection, offering moments of both visceral intensity and tender rapture for viewers to immerse themselves into.
