Databending & Glitch Art
Sunday, November 28, 2021 @ 1:00 Pm – 2:30pm
The Web of Connections symposium brings together artists from Interweavings and Remediations to share their work and exchange on the common topics and themes from these two exhibitions curated by Nicole Burisch and Sally Frater. This online gathering will include presentations and workshops around the intersections of technology, textiles, craft, and materiality.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
In this beginner-level workshop, participants will be introduced to databending and glitch art methodologies, followed by a discussion of its applications to textile processes. Through the course of this tutorial, participants will be taught the difference between various file formats, and shown how those interact with different software to produce unexpected results.
