Glitch! - 2018

The experimental photographs from 2018 originated from a malfunction in the camera's software. Glitch has been an independent genre since the 2000s. In the case of visual art, glitch refers to the kind of distortion that occurs in the image source file, and the chain of resulting errors affects the surface of the image or video. Visually stimulating distortions emerge from this. It was exciting for me because my camera malfunctioned, so I played with the idea of how to create a camera that intentionally introduces errors into the source code of the image. Similar effects can be artificially induced with a HEX editor program. The HEX editor allows the user to have direct access to the source code of the media file. This way, one can manually alter the file's binary code, causing distortions and errors.
