All images on this page are created by a complicated analog and digital hybrid process involving modified analog video gear and a digital camera to capture a CRT TV screen. This is commonly known as Glitch Art. Though the term can refer to a variety of different processes, the through line is a manipulation of unintended errors in an image or a video (a glitch). The different methods and processes of producing Glitch Art can range from digital post-processing with software such as After Effects or Photoshop, all the way to rewiring outdated video processing equipment to allow for original effects.
In detail my process involves several pieces of equipment connected together with a digital camera to capture the result. Working backwards, I use a Fuji XPro 3 with a Contax G 45mm f/2 lens adapted to it. The TV that the camera is pointed is a Sony PVM 1351Q color video monitor. The main controller for the input sources is a Sima SFX9 video mixer. The following components of the process are arranged in different ways using a generous amount of AV cables: a BPMC (Big Pauper Modified Circuitry) Video Nasty, a Tachyons+ Vortex Decoder, and a variety of input devices (digital cameras, HDMI video downscaled from my laptop, etc.).
