beautiful corruption
the aesthetic of the error
Boredom and pain are regular states of being. Happiness and luck are aberrant states. Mania causes fatigue, comfort leads to dread. Fatalism might be the best and only way to go from here.

The aesthetic of the error: Glitch Art describes the elevation of the digital or analogue error as artefacts and bugs to a mean of aesthetic expression. Errors can be achieved by corrupting digital data or through the manipulation of digital devices.
Experimenting with different methods of databending I manipulated intimate photographs inspired by the work of Chinese Photgrapher Ren Hang. Ren Hang passed away in the same year of the creation of this digital print design project. The distortion, though damaging the file, adds new colours and composition to the original image. Other imagines were edited with Adobe Photoshop to give the impression of a glitch.

The prints were further used as placements or motifs for rapports in textile design. HTML CODE from Ren Hang’s website quoting last diary entries were used as design elements referencing the error notes.
During the project I kept on asking my self:
When is an error be more beautiful than the correct/the accurate?
Which role does coincidence play when creating glitch art?
Is it a real glitch if there is intention?
and also
How does a photograph sound like?
