Glitches, pixelated distortions, and data transmission errors have become a familiar part of the digital environment. But what if we translated these visual breakdowns into the physical space, making them tangible?
The basis of the work is a 90×120 cm urban landscape photograph. Overlaid onto the image are multicolored fabric fragments that simulate graphic glitches. The textile functions as a peculiar analogue to the digital pixel, transforming an intangible distortion into a physical object.
A realistic depiction of a city clashes with bright geometric forms. Colored stripes interrupt the integrity of the photograph, overlaying architecture, sky, and familiar spatial outlines. This creates a visual conflict between the documentary accuracy of the photograph and the artificial quality of a digital error.
A digital glitch is usually perceived as something temporary: an image freezes, distorts, and then returns to normal. In this work, the error becomes permanent. It no longer disappears from the screen; instead, it exists as a part of material reality, intruding upon the image of everyday space.
This work explores the boundary between the digital and material worlds, proposing a view of technical error as an independent artistic language. The glitch ceases to be a sign of malfunction and instead becomes a means of reinterpreting conventional imagery, where the real and the virtual coexist simultaneously.
