Topic: Glitch Art/Photo Manipulation General

[Cyst]

Did a couple cursory searches and found that there wasn't a thread, but recently that's all I've been doing so...

Vaporwave, Cyberghetto, Sadboys, Natural Glitches, Pixel Sorting, Olde Skool Photo Collages... You know the vibe right?






Anyone else on this wave?

First I've heard of it, is this a big thing?

[Cyst]

I don't know how big it really is, but Tumblr seems to dig it. I mean, the aesthetic elements and traits of each can vary wildly, and sometimes pieces are almost unrelated. It might be obscure, I'm not sure, but it seems to all-in-all point to a sort of post-Internet post-Art sort of direction? It might be popular irl, but Facebook is ambivalent... It hasn't been too flooded with normies tho.

Very cyberpunk.

Well yeah, in an early William Gibson "three sticks of RAM hidden under the tempurfoam mattress in the pod hotel" outdated sort of way.

[Cyst]

Tongue-in-cheek retrofuturism is a large aesthetic element for many pieces across the net. It's like a pessimistic look at the future of yesterday, by filtering it through today, and portraying it as the future of tomorrow.

I have quite a few edits, mostly of art I took from various internet sources... Lots of wallpapers and junk... Recently did this collab with a friend:
My first run:
My second run, over their edit:



I can't art, but I can butcher and remix art to give vibes.

Holy God this quote is something else.

Also, Badger, this isn't strictly glitch art, but you might be into some of this:

This guy is from Japan and I don't know much about him but he does cool stuff.

And this guy on DeviantArt does some great art too.

you like any of that stuff man?

[Cyst]

Those definitely share some thematic elements, but not quite the same aesthetic. Of course, I'll now be stealing source images from both of those links, so thank.

[Slinky]

Definitely not the same aesthetic but in the same ballpark so I thought you might be interested.

Also hi Cyst.

[Ultimatum]

[Krakow Sam]

Am I doing it right?

[Inkling]

Yes.

[Krakow Sam]

Slinky's is a lot better though.

The boy's a talent I tell you what. He's going to make our family great.
