"Prosopagnosia"

[source / image used : x ]

Glitch art / ditherpunk art made with a free stock image from pexels.com. Makes use of dithering and fake pixel sorting.

I made another image in this style a few days ago (at the time I am preparing this post) and remembered that some people are unable to recognize faces/recognize people from faces alone, which is called Prosopagnosia.

I felt that this fit well with me distorting faces, and so decided to make some glitch art with this concept in mind. I ended up adding the dithering because I felt it made other parts of the picture (the jacket sleeves, the hair, the hands) stand out more.

I really like how this one turned out, and I hope I could do the condition some justice.

"Losing Face"

[source/stock image used: x ]

Glitch art/ditherpunk art made in GIMP with a free stock image from pexels.com. Makes use of (fake) pixel sorting. (Open in new tab for best resolution)

I stumbled over 'pixel sorting' and remembered there is a filter in GIMP that gives a similar effect. Played around with it, and looked at glitch art/pixel sorting and the phrase 'losing face' popped into my head, so that was how I got the idea to make this piece.

I then also played around with dithering options and arrived at two versions I really liked, one of which you can see here - the second one will likely be posted in the future.

I think ppl know what it is like to be so embarrased you want to disappear, to mess up in a way that feels like makes you lose a part of your confidence - maybe even your sense of self (in how others perceive us).

Fitting to make this piece in a Glitch Art style then, as this art style (from what I read) is meant to embrace imperfections and mistakes.

"Untitled"

Glitch art with dithered elements made in GIMP.

Not much to say about this one; I experimented with the technique behind this piece and similar ones quite a bit for some time and thought I'd share the results. In hindsight, I really like how they look, and the fact that they could (theoretically) also double as/be used as textures, for example.

"Untitled"

Glitch art made in GIMP. Makes use of dithering.

A companion piece to an earlier piece of art I made in a similar style. This one taught me that sometimes, the artist doesn't decide the color of the finished piece, but the artwork itself does; I planned to make this a turquoise-ish color first, but that didn't quite work for me, so I experimented until it felt 'right'.

Fun fact, I had to look up what this color even was. Closest I could figure out is 'iris'.

"untitled"

Ditherpunk/Glitch art made in GIMP.

At the point that I am preparing this post, this piece was already made a month ago, I just completely forgot about posting it. Now that I have looked more into glitch art and the likes, I finally feel like I can gauge what I even made tbh.

Just some random experiment, but I think it really looks cool. I originally planned to use this as a background for another piece but I think it looks good on its own too.

"Polyhedron"

[source / stock image used: x ]

Glitch art made in GIMP with a free stock photo from pexels.com. Makes use of dithering.

I saw the original image and thought of the Polyhedron from "Pathologic" and the song "Polyhedrons" from Disco Elysium, hence the name of this piece.

I originally made the full-sized image back in August, but have since returned to it in my files folder multiple times and wanted to post it. Now I have gone and cropped it and want to share it online.

I love the colors in this one, it gives me vaporwave vibes and I find it really calming for some reason.
