The Disposable Glitch Series

The Disposable Glitch Series (2019)

The Disposable Glitch Series is a collection of images which have all been distorted beyond recognition through an experimental editing process using audio and voice recordings. Inspired by Rosa Menkman’s work, the decomposition of the images shows a degeneration on the image to have evolved into an unreadable version of its original state. The original photographs revolve around people in my life and how quickly they come and go within it.

During the creative process within The Disposable Glitch Series, the data within the images is made unreadable causing a distortion or all together erasure of whatever the original may be. The loss of the original image is a metaphor for the loss my own memories of the moments the images mark, and having to create something new out of what is left. The archives from which I am pulling the original image files from started two years ago. I edited all the images through Audacity with an experimental editing technique that once completed reveals a digital glitch of the image that is not always recognizable when compared to the original.
