Glitch Art / Discuss

hello boys and girls
recently i made a series of files and posted here but they where rejected. This could be a very insignificant issue due to the fact that we all know the rules. But i was following that rules, at least at the way i understand the concept of glitch.


it consisted in a series of digital photographs of sunsets altered by a download error. This files where bitmap transfered via personal messaging software from one place to another. After the file was completely downloaded the transfer is aborted. The final result is that the bitmap repeats the last horizontal downloaded pixel to complete the image dimensions. This was administrated by monitoring the downloading process to stop the transfer in a certain point of the image to create some relation between the image and the error. This files where converted to jpg for correct visualization (flickr was unable to translate in a "good way" this error)


I know that the final result can be very tricky because you can think it was made on photoshop. But you can fake a "classic" glitch too with this software. So, what is the important part here? obviously i posted this work here because i find a big relation with glitch concepts, so It seems to me that this series can be very useful in terms of discussion about glitch aesthetics.
