Glitch Art examples

Glitche is an app filled with different tools, effects and filters to creating ‘cutting edge’ imagery and video artistry. The app is available on the app store meaning it’s that simple for you to access and also use from your mobile phone. Glitche is described as “a modern photo app that delightfully destroys photos”. The apps purpose is to in a way destroy your images yes, but also to distort them to look like a happy accident. It is also there so that as an artist or even someone with an interest / passion for digital art can experiment with colours, movement of your image and obviously how glitches are shown/used in your work. When editing an image/video there is very little control with the effects, even when upgrading to ‘pro’ but in my opinion it does help as it helps to create something that you as an artist wouldn’t necessarily choose.

The Glitche website is extremely cool, and aesthetic pleasing for someone like myself, I really like this style of modern art and incorporating a 90’s/ digital age aesthetic and building your brand around it

Glitche contains in app purchases in order to unlock ‘pro’ services, I decided to download the app which you then download another from that costing 49p, I wanted to get the full experience so opted to paying another £3.49 in order to be able to use the app to its full potential.

When using the Glitche myself, I used an photo I took the other day in the gallery on campus, of art being exhibited. I then imported it into the Glitche app manipulating the image, the video below shows the process of how I created the images below but also just an idea of the sort of effects that can be created in this app.

Final Edit:
This is after enabling the scene effect and adding a glass like texture to the image:

I personally think that this app is worth the small fee (however it is a monthly payment) as it pushes your boundaries as an artist and also moves away from the traditional views of what art ‘should’ be and joining the digital era we are in creating modernised art.
