Over the course of our glitch labs, I wanted to play with the idea of organic images. I chose to do something about nature or the human body for all of my glitches. I learned many ways to glitch and destroy images curated by AI to create entirely new art pieces. Though the infinite loop was difficult being able to use AI as a tool has shown me not to be afraid of it. By mixing inorganic concepts like glitch art and organic things such as mushrooms, flowers, and the occasional eyeball, I wanted to express a sense of the best of both worlds. To find the beauty in inorganic and organic ideas is incredible. I hope to play with glitch art more in the future and express those concepts that have a polar opposite to the other. The idea of opposites attract is exactly how I started to curate my pieces, there’s always beauty in organic things such as nature and human beings, but when there’s an unnerving element such as technology it causes us to recognize that that’s wrong. No one wants their TV or monitor to glitch out and break, it has negative connotations for us as a society learning how to build and create with technology. That’s exactly why this lab was so valuable, it taught me to understand technology and how it perceives us as organic things. The aesthetic of human beings and nature is ingrained into technology, as well as technology is ingrained into us as human beings. So it’s safe to say that AI is a tool for us and recognizes us just as much as we recognize it.
