Digital Projects and Reflection

Retro and Retro-esque Glitch Art

Introduction

The project focused on glitching both videos and still images of retro and retro-esque video-games. I was initially confused as to the creation of video glitch art, but through the creation of a tutorial on motion-vector glitching for this website, Mapping Out Glitch-Art, I found myself becoming more familiar with said tools required. Pixelsorting, a glitch technique of still images that sorts pixels randomly, and Audacity were used in combination to create the gallery of images in the embedded Imgur gallery.

To gain more information on the specific artist statements and reflections associated each individual glitch, visit the Imgur page for Retro and Retro-esque Glitch Art.

Iterations and Improvements

To iterate upon my work, I opted to create more examples using a mix between pixelsorting and motion-vector gltiching. Glitch adjustments of prior created works were also completed.

  • Expanded my gallery of glitch art from 11 (from 8)
    • Super Mario Bros. (1983), Space Invaders (1978), and Earthbound (1989)
  • Adjusted layout and artistic statements
