Various snapshots from this weekend's experimentation.

Teletext is Dead?

Following up the Teletext is Dead idea using DV imagery.

Turning Philip Avery into a robot. Quite humorous actually.

More glitch stills

Yet more stills from the glitch videos I am making.
I'm thinking about making a video based around some of these stills,
but I will try and upload some of the videos to YouTube over the weekend.

Some stills from some of the video captures from the last few days.

Digital glitching

In comparison to the analogue glitching, digital glitches are blockier and more pixellated. The image also often freezes and sound sometimes disappears altogether. Might be worth doing some tests contrasting the two but I think the digital glitches look better.

Teleglitcher

Following on from the Telegiffer idea, this is Teleglitcher. In fact despite their aesthetics and patterns created the two are quite different - Teleglitcher can be seen as a more advanced version of 'Teletext is Dead'.

Glitching

Snowy reception.

Larsen Feedback

This is a composition by Maxime Merion involving a slightly psychedelic series of images, taken directly off a television screen. It's a little bit like what I would like to achieve and is reminiscent of Telegiffer in some ways. It is, however, a bit more considered and worked on.



Maniax Memori weblog

I like how this piece seems to have originated from the feedback generated from a microphone. Pretty cool.

Teletext is dead.

TV glitching

Been recording some results of 'glitching' my digital set top box. The idea here would be to collect a selection of glitched screens and sounds to edit together in a short movie. Whereas previously analogue television would just lose reception or the picture become all snowy, digital television becomes all strange and deformed with a low reception signal. Well, it does on my box, anyway.

More glitching

Glitch browser

Glitch Browser

This is a little computer application that corrupts any page you input to the address bar. It works in your browser like any other, except everything is all messed up. Auto glitching, kind of. The above image is a small screegrab from my Teletext album on Flickr. I used to get a lot of glitched images similar to these when I used floppy disks but sadly nobody uses them any more - probably for that reason.

Befix - glitch art

"Pleasure is Error". For some reason humans (particularly us British) like seeing things go horribly wrong. Not in a mean way but kind of accepting failure.

I always laugh when my cable box crashes, making voices become zombified and the screen display a nice little pattern. Befix is a website inspired by computer display glitches.

The glitch section is quite interesting, I feel. There's a variety of imagery which seems to be generated using different formats. It would be good to take a variety of video appliances and see how I could corrupt them - starting with my cable box and moving onto teletext pages, video game consoles, computers etc. Maybe a side project would be a 'glitch' blog.

ASCII/glitched Super Mario

On my other weblog I'm exploring the possibilities of recreating classic video games in new ways. Mario might be a bit complicated for me yet but it's fun to experiment with this sort of stuff.

Here, someone has hacked the original Nintendo Super Mario game to be completely in ASCII.



I've had a go at hacking ROMs over Christmas but I can't seem to get my head round it. Oh well.



Something equally as interesting, however, is the idea of glitch art. I have explored this a bit previously in my post about Cory Arcangel but never really got onto expanding it. I like the idea of using existing commercial appliances such as video game consoles and exploring creation of glitches.
