A glitch is a mistake- a crude ERROR - that disrupts visuals on our screen. A glitch snapps us back to reality and reminds us that we are viewing the world through a man-made digital reality. This digital show futures artists Rosa Menkan, Michael Manning, and Petra Cortright. They have contributed one piece each that was made to expose the art of the glitched image by using it as a medium to enhance their work. Glitching an image can be done in a variety of ways and we will explore each artist's unique approach. These are the elevations of the glitch.
Rosa Menken "Shaking in Space" photography, digital editing, (2020) Menken glitches her work through an editing program to envoke a broken and fast paced evolving image.
Petra Cortright "Flowers in a Feild" photography, digital collage, digital painting (2020) Cortright uses smudging through digital painting to obscure the origional image leaving the details to the imagination.
Michael Manning "Summer Nostalgia: Cotton Candy Skies" digital painting, traditional painting (2020) Manning puts his work throgh multiple stages to simultaneously add layers and reduce details by combigning the digital and traditoinal. He uses a glitch to further abstract the piece.
