“Glitched is a set started in 2013. It is currently composed of 8 +1(XL) pieces composed as follows: in a smoked glass cube, which allows only very little light”

Pretty nutso and amazing art installations here. I’ve been playing with the idea of getting/building a decent 3D printer for the last 2 years, but this about seals the deal for me.

It’s like a scene from every ‘weird things happen to main characters on conveniently deserted suburban neighborhoods’ movie I’ve ever seen. Only this is not a movie set, it’s a diorama where miniature street lamps illuminate incredibly real looking, eerie streets that lead to nowhere other than the edge of the box they’re trapped in.

Glitched is a series of tiny worlds of imperfection, where everything is not as it seems. Artist, Mathieu Schmitt prints his models using 3D files that have been corrupted. 

Check out the scenes for yourself and see what you can uncover. More on HAHA MAG...

Glitched (series) by Mathieu Schmitt 

2013-2014; Tinted glass, model, 3D print, LEDs; 30x30x30cm

A series of 3D printed diaoramas in a smoked glass cube. Each scene contains a 'glitch' which is the result of deliberately putting the file through incompatible softwares (leading to corrupted files for printing). The glass blocks 95% of light, allowing the artist to bathe his creations in eerie artificial lighting.

Neighborhoods Behind Smoked Glass

In Mathieu Schmitt's 'Glitched' series we find eerie neighborhood settings encapsulated inside smoked glass cubes. The all-white elements of the sceneries – which have been entirely 3D printed – contribute to the ambience of mystery which is reminiscent of a Tim Burton film still.
