A Corrupt Nature by Maciek Jasik

"Las Vegas expands upon these myths by serving as the symbol of conquered Nature, a city where casinos rise like mountains, each borrowing from the fabled Venice, Paris, New York, ancient Egypt and Rome. Along with Nature, time and place have been overcome; this is a total victory where anything is possible—a template for cities like Dubai or Abu Dhabi. In ‘A Corrupt Nature’ our traditional viewpoint of Las Vegas is flipped. Our focus is sets of lonely, forgotten trees and strange piles of detritus resembling pyramids, the casinos far in the background. Immediately, we’re reminded of the barren landscape that preceded our arrival. Through the use of color, these elements transcend their ordinary appearance and become symbols of Nature’s inherent power and endurance, patiently outlasting eras and species."

OFFF Barcelona 2015 Main Titles by Signalnoise and Onesize

After Hector Ayuso had put Onesize in touch with graphic artist James White (aka Signalnoise) to collaborate on OFFF Barcelona 2015 Main Titles, the question arose: "How will the styles ever mix?" They chose to give the audience a souvenir by printing the titles in the form of a card deck. Fifty three designs were made by James White and his team (back in Canada), while Onesize developed two 80s TV Commercials, selling the card deck and promising a better life for dysfunctional families.This film tells a story about Jason, a boy who bought this deck of cards 30 years ago as a last resort to save his family. It all turned out quite different for him and he blames Sean - the kid in the commercials - whose "no losers, only winners” catchphrase has eaten through Jason’s life like a cancer. Now, in present time, Jason’s journey of revenge is coming to a close. Before the film was shown to the audience at the festival, over 2000 printed versions of the card game where handed out to every single person in the room as "take-away titles".

Virtual Topographies Of Jhovany Quiroz

We are getting close to the open contest of Designcollector Digital Decade + OFFF15 (will announce soon), that will explore Glitch in its beauty this May. Meanwhile dig the exploding, virtual topographies of Jhovany Quiroz. Starting with a single image, he deconstructs 3D terrain using commonplace imaging apps. From the iPhone Camera and Photo Editor, to Mextures (for layers, light leaks, and emulsion effects) and Glitché (for three-dimensional imaging), his digital arsenal yields artworks that resemble what we imagine it would look like if a stick of dynamite was sucked into a black hole.

Last Voyage Game

Inspired (or not) by the most beautiful game Monument Valley guys from SEMIDOME released the LAST VOYAGE. A cinematic experience inspired by science-fiction movies, each chapter is visually unique and explores an original concept with completely new game mechanics. Go through psychedelic portals, explore grand minimal forms, solve mind-bending puzzles or race against the stars. While these chapters form a continuous narrative, the players are constantly surprised with new ways to interact as they seamlessly transition from one chapter to another.

Emoji Album Covers by @EmojiArtworks done with Glitche App

It's been a while since I spoke about Russian-born Glitche App at Digitized Festival this September in Athens. Started as a fun in 2013 the Glitche app reached the top of App Store in a few months, right after celebrities and photographers like Nicola Formichetti (Diesel) or Nick Knight (Showstudio) showed the world a new tool that saves a lot of efforts and money to bring a wow-effect. Basically the app give you an opportunity to become a contemporary artist just by distorting your photos with an awesome set of filters and glitch-hacks. After the release of the second version app rocked with a new features and filters like Emoji-art (I still remember the joy of ASCII-Art Christmas Cards my dad did in later 80ss for me). We didn't wait to long for a clever guy using Glitche App to create epic fan art over famous music covers. So he did it very well and buzz the social web with his artworks available on Twitter @emojiartworks. Find the cover you like or create and share your own Glitch Art using the app now. If you totally missed a thing, there is a second app from Glitche Team (Vladimir Shreyder) aimed to eliminate the sense of selfie by creating anti-selfie - SLMMSK. Go try on both apps! Meanwhile enjoy the selection of Emoji Music Cover Artworks below.

Glitched Dioramas by Mathieu Schmitt

“Glitched” is a series of 3D printed dioramas in smoked glass cubes by artist Mathieu Schmitt. The artist allows for the 3D model data to become corrupt in such a way that objects are printed slightly deformed. The late-night settings and the misshapen objects create quite an eerie atmosphere.

Adam Lupton

Love this awesome glitch artworks from Adam Lupton

Canadian artist Adam Lupton's gaze explores psychological and sociological struggles in modern society. Painting in oil, blurring lines between realism and expressionism helps Lupton probe the internal and external dialogue faced in his multi-directional narratives. His recent work pits moments of choice against the visualization of their outcomes: temporal planes coexisting on a singular surface.

Glitch Art by Alex Kanevsky

Check the glitchy art of Russian born and Philadelphia based Alex Kanevsky. His style is a mix of figurative with cubist-like marks by a palette knife. The relaxed figures break apart into geometrical gestures that imply their movement through the space. Kanevsky credits a range of aesthetically different artists as inspiration, from Van Gogh, Cezanne, Mondrian, Rothko, Kline, to Freud, the list goes on.
