Year of the Glitch

Thanks to all of you, amazing followers for an incredible year! Thanks also to Tumblr for creating such an awesome resource for building and sharing creative projects.

This may be the last post of the year, marking the end of a year of aesthetic and formal research of Glitch Art, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of this blog. I’ll continue to post glitch related works here as I continue to explore and cook up new techniques, though not at as frantic a pace as in the past.

This coming year, much of my energy will be focused on taking this project offline, continuing the Glitch Textiles work, and looking into publishing Year of the Glitch in book form. So, keep on following all you awesome follows, and share this project with all your friends. There is more to come. I’ll be seeing you in the next year.

Happy New Year!

-Phil

Portal No. 2

Created using GIMP, QuickTime, and Audacity.

Recipe:

Create gradients in GIMP
Use the “Filter” -> “Animation” -> “Blend” tool to create a looped fade between the two gradients
“File” -> “Save As” as a GIF (choose save as animation and convert automatically, then use 30ms delay between frames, and the replace setting, apply above to all frames)
Open with QuickTime and “File” -> “Export” as a DV stream
Create multiple files using the above method
In Audacity, open the DV files using “File” -> “Import” -> “Raw Data”
Settings should be A-Law, Default Endianness, Mono, No offset, 100% of the file at 44100 Hz.
Delete the header information from all but one file (will be the bits at the top of the file that look the same for each).
Export using “File” -> “Export”, choose “Other Uncompressed”, and select “A-Law” in the “Options”
Make sure to change the file extension back to DV.
