Glitch Garden
I always been very fascinated by water and flow patterns and how they are present in shaping nature. Ever since I read the classic “Sensitive Chaos” by Theodor Schwenk, flow patterns has been a recurring theme in my works beside working with technical heritage studies. The combination of the low res pixels and the mesmerising effects achieved by flow-motion are some of the most beautiful calming phenomenass and I just never get tired of playing around with them.
When I first discovered how pixels somehow emphasises the ticketing sensation when one emitting light diode takes over from the previous I knew I had to do a garden series.
Glitch Garden is my attempt to recreate this ticketing effect while studying a range of different plant types, grasses and leaves and their relation to the low resolution of 128x128 pixels.
16384 Squares
By exposing a 128px 8x8 grid to simulated physics turbulence, the grid interferes with the diodes in a ever changing moiré patterns, revealing a subtle breeze of random generated palm leaves behind the grid.
The colors of the leaves are then transferred back into the squares of the grid as large pixels. 16384 are the amount of emitting diodes on the 128px LED artworks from Spøgelsesmaskinen.
Each token holds both a 4K MP4 version and the original 128x128px GIF artwork for low res LED screens. On mint a new generative variation of the art piece will be added by the artist to the token, also as both MP4 and GIF. Each piece is 60 seconds loop, of 2161 frames. The variation can be pinned on https://www.transient.xyz/nfts/base/0xd2f9c0ef092d7ffd1a5de43b6ee546065461887d/9
Collectors are able to require a physical custom assembled LED display made specifically for this artwork on https://spogel.xyz/led
