Medium:Photoshop, ClipStudioPaint
Dimension: 3847x6600

DESCRIPTION:

 A introductory project to glitching. 2024 is inspired by announcement of NASA deciding to launch another lunar mission by the year 2024. I want to create a poster documenting mankind's achievement in space exploration. The poster includes rocket designs and blueprints from the NASA, Interkosmos (Soviet space agency), and SpaceX. Meanwhile, the center-pieces is a rocket that incoprated rocket component from all of these agencies/companies. The first section was inspired by SpaceX's Starship, the center section was inspired by NASA's Saturn V, and the last section was inspired by the Soviet's Soyuz. The united design signifies space exploration being a human achievement.

Medium: Audacity, Photoshop
Dimension: 1200x1200

DESCRIPTION:

  A glitched result of the previous collage. This image was convert to audiowave and heavily processed in Adacity. The result is a facinating repetition of texture. Despite the overall textures are gibberish, the repetition ties them down into a more controlled manner and adds another layers of meaning to it. Additionally, the name comes from the black artifacts at the bottom third of the image which resemble the letters "PI".

Name: Collage Glitched 3
Medium: Audacity, Photoshop
Dimension: 1200x1200

DESCRIPTION:

 Part of the Collage Glitched Project. The collage was glitched twice. The image was rotated 90 degree before glitching it the second time. The result was more abstract compared to the second image; only the texture of the skin remains. One interesting note is that the rotation creates a grid-like artifact (you can see it more clearly in full resolution) akin to what would present out of a cathode-ray tube display.

Name: Human (Collage Glitched)
Medium: Photoshop
Dimension: 1200x1200

DESCRIPTION:

 Human is a variation of the Hyperrealism Collage. It was processed with different layer property. The resulting juxaposition is both familiar yet disconnecting. From afar, the image resemble a human face, abeit a little distorted, but at a closer look, the overlapping texture creates a uncanny feeling to it. For this image, I want to create an imagery with something we all familar with and disconnect that familarity through manipluation. I used the hyperrealism drawing because it also draws to the same idea of disconnect; despite it realism and attention to detail, it's still a drawing.

It's a critique to unresricted capitalism. Similarity, I want to explore the same concept with this project by using almost disorientating effects and pop-up to re-imagine this grim future.

Name: Interactive Randomness powered by Trig
Medium: p5.js
Dimension: 800x800

DESCRIPTION:

  Interactive Randomness powered by Trigonometry, or IRT in short, was created as an assignment for ART 74. The idea was to create a tool where with a few interaction, everyone can create their unique computer generated art. As the name suggest, the motion of the geometries is derived from basic Trig. By using randomly generated number as variable, the code can generated varying size of shape at a different speed.
  The main goal of this code art is to created a vibrant chaotic yet controlled image. The chaos coming from the randomness and viewer interaction, whereas the controlled-ness comes from the limitation of the Trig function: No matter how random the variables are, the final shape always ends with a square.

INSTRUCTION:
Press MOUSE to create shape,
Press ANY_KEY(not space) to generate madness,
Space is PAUSE
Screenshot at any moment you want.
