Glitch Art Artists/Opinions

Marian Galpernia

For my individual artists I had great difficulty finding a specific glitch artist in research. Because glitch art falls into the digital age of media and production, it is hard to track down specific information on bloggers and random internet posts. For example, the image above was pulled after googling "glitch art," (which happened to have thousands of results). A vast majority of the images displayed fall under an amateur category, such as shown on the right.

It was interesting looking for legitimate artwork after reading Walter Benjamin's article predicting the peak in technologies and replication. As an individual who has experience putting images through text edit and/or a scanner, I know how easy it is to create with the help of two or three programs

One of the inspirations for my next project comes from renown media artist Wayne Bryan. A local artist living in Alexandria Virginia, Wayne holds a diverse portfolio of incredibly intricate work. He studied at University of South Florida in Tampa before becoming inspired by advertising and pop culture work through media. His works have received multiple awards along with being displayed in studios as far as Beijing.

My personal favorite collection on his Saatchi Online profile would most likely be "P/D3 Glitch Collage Studies"work. Not only are these images powerful in which they overwhelm viewers in random detail and sparse color, they also feel oddly connected and organized- a feeling I hope my final project will release.

More of his modern works have taken on a much more advanced, almost "coded" look
