Glitch

The Glitch Textiles project was started in 2011 with the mission of exploring textiles as a medium for materializing digital art. The idea was simple: Transcode glitches in the cold, hard logic of digital circuits into soft, warm textiles. The result is art that bridges the digital/virtual divide and reconnects the histories of woven image making and computer technologies. Designs are made using a range of unorthodox digital processes and techniques, including the production of images via short circuiting digital cameras, misuse of off the shelf software, data corruption, custom software, and data visualization tools developed for digital forensics.
