To introduce Jeff Donaldson, start with Glitch art. We have reported on an art-defective bar, which is an artistic creation based on the failure of electronic technology. It usually creates a state of electronic failure by hacking or recoding traditional programs. The word Glitch was first recorded in a space program in the United States and was used to describe images that caused errors in signal transmission and caused distortion. Gradually Glitch graphics became an aesthetic that appeared in many design fields.
Jeff Donaldson, who studied composition at a university in Maryland, was influenced by the American pioneer music composer John Cage (4:33:30) to overthrow music and quiet on stage. Second, let the audience listen to the "accidental" voice in silence.) Obsessed with this "accidental art."
In 2007, Jeff Donaldson produced the first faulty artistic knit work, the Nintendo Scarf. By making a NES fault, he recorded the fault image and selected the favorite style to make the knitted product. With the completion of this work, Glitchaus was also born. Jeff Donaldson set up a project, or brand, to explore the possibility of failure in the electronic world on traditional knitwear.
According to Jeff, "8-bit red and white images always remind him of knitwear", and at the same time, he found that the process of using a hole card to execute instructions in a loom is similar to the process of using a hole card in a computer to store programs. Combining these two kinds of art is a natural thing.
Since then, Jeff has successively introduced the "Read Error" series, using the PC simulator of the 1980s to display images of the wrong resolution, and the "Data Knit" and "Data Weave" series to visualize binary data through software. Make a very detailed pattern. Each needle represents a pixel in a graph of data; Malwear is a new series of computer viruses that uses woven fabrics to display the Melissa virus that broke the global mail system including Intel and Microsoft in 1999 (here There is also a romantic love story; in 2000, 45 million ILOVEYOU viruses were transmitted through the mail attachment “LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.txt.vbs.†and the Stuxnet viruses that the United States invented to destroy the Iranian nuclear program. (Stuxnet), all converted into knitwear by Jeff. Jeff also revealed that the next Malwear series will consider the zombies Klez, MyDoom, and Mirai under the Internet of Things.
ILOVEYOU
All of Jeff's works will also be sold on the Internet, both by booking the reproduction first. On some websites, such as TImefly, Square, there are sales, the price is about 100 US dollars, the most expensive 375 US dollars. As for the next steps, Jeff will continue to challenge more complex and more informative projects. As he said, knit is 8-bit resolution, weven is HD resolution, and he wants to go to 4k.
Recently, Glitchaus participated in the Internet yami ichi (Internet black market) held in New York in 2016. This is the “creative festival†of Internet artists in Japan in 2012. It was held in Berlin, London and other places. The market is always Internet-related "subculture" works, such as snowballs containing "NSA data" (soak USB), MacBook-Air air (a bottle of air from Japan...), luncheon meat Spam email (spam email Spam, spam also mean luncheon meat) and so on. As engineers bring the real world to the digital world, these people bring the digital world to the real world. The boundaries between the two worlds are becoming more and more blurred.
The knitwear trend of this kind of fault art also appeared in Japan. GlitchKnit was initiated by Japanese designer Nukeme, hardware engineer Tomofumi YOSHIDA, software engineer So KANNO and sponsor Emi YAMAMOTO. In addition to the fact that failures and malfunctioning data images are reflected in the knitwear as with Glitchaus, they also lost the knitting machine, named FabLabShibuya, used to make deconstructed knitwear, and how to share in the black knitting machine. On the web.
You can think of Glitch Knit as a product of digitization, an expression of uncertainty, a way of visualizing information, and a new possibility of fashion design.
