Dear Computer,

Lapsus Apparatus

Dear Computer, — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 18:07:25 +0000

A while ago, I got invited to collaborate on the next issue of Glitch. Honoured as I was, I created a series of black & white bitmaps called Lapsus Apparatus. Generated stories were also gathered.

Glitch 3 is published! Thanks to the amazing work of curator Vadim Gershman. It features work from several artists, writers and poets, all created around the theme ‘Connection Time-Out’. You can see a sneak preview of the gorgeous full-color book and order it online.

These are the pieces I contributed:

Now as One

Dear Computer, — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 16:28:54 +0000

“These days, now has won, now as one.”

This piece gathers & glitches images found at twitpic – todays visual hive mind.
Snapshots combined into little stories. Much like in the old days, when a camera
sometimes winded partially, overlapping different exposures.

If you encounter interesting combinations, please take screenshots, upload them
and send/post links. I’ll add them.

You can click on the parts to see the original image.

Here are a few exemplary results (click to enlarge):

tribute to outpt

After getting major inspiration by a glitched tv-channel in a hotel in Poland, this is my first attempt at video databending. Original soundtrack got all glitched up (duh ), so Autechre came to mind to support the images. And what a combination it is! One of my favorite tracks, called Outpt. Enjoy.

New viral specimens seem to be growing on my CPU. Check them out, look around.
Strange diversions I call Anthoxanth, Cistaceae and the interesting Altissimus.

Research on interesting curves and shapes. Generated by drawing random bezier curves on a BitmapData object in Actionscript. Click on the images to view the large version.

Inspired by Greater Montreal’s new branding I came up with this chaotic piece:

These small experiments are all based on the same simple iterative concept. Altering only a few parameters drastically changes the results.

Played around with drawing and distorting a Bitmap object in flash, resulting in this generator of ‘ambient’ graphics. Refresh this page to generate a new image. I’ll add an export image function. In the mean time, please send screenshots of interesting results to , I’ll attach them in this post.

Inspired by a building nearby I created a flash movie that generate cube-patterns in random sizes and colors. This is a screendump of one of the compositions.
