Artista:  Guido Iafigliola (glitchdo) Este artista es uruguayo, interviene fotografías e imágenes utilizando el glitch. En este ejemplo se observa el Palacio Salvo, arquitectura emblemática del Uruguay intervenido mediente el GlitchArt.

La infinidad de posibilidades ligadas a la experimentación entre formatos artísticos puede llevar a caminos de lo más insospechados. Puede sucumbir en la creación de realidades alternativas tan alucinantes que uno desearía perderse en ellas para siempre. Con un toque parecido al mítico Leif Podhajský, la explosiva obra de Guido Iafigliola (aka Glitchdo) es el resultado de la experimentación entre la fotografía y los recursos digitales junto con la técnica de la fotografía analógica. A partir de la yuxtaposición de colores y la fusión de imágenes, ha conseguido crear un mundo basado en la más pura y derretida psicodelia. Pero no hablamos de caleidoscopia ni de esas movidas, no. La visión de Iafigliola se basa en fundir literalmente cualquier imagen o representación en el más intenso color tornasol. Desde creaciones totalmente abstractas hasta la deformación del mundano universo que nos rodea, las obras de éste artista Uruguayo te harán entrar en el vórtice. Y una vez dentro, quedarás atrapado en un trip de mil colores y surrealismo puro.

A BRAVE NEW WORLD OF SLEEP

Week 3

During week 3, coincidentally the March issue of ‘The Psychologist’ magazine had been posted through my door, with no name or address attached, an article within the magazine titled ‘Children of Alcoholism’ by Alan Price, postgraduate from the university of Salford describe how people these days have ‘a reluctance to diagnose, seek diagnosis through fear of stigma’ (Sutton and Price, 2017) and are turning towards more psychological approaches to analysing and dealing with distress. When looking at the magazine I was drawn to the cover image, a digital image created by artist Guido Iafigliola, who not only created the cover image but all images for the corresponding article ‘A Brave New World of Sleep��. I experienced a pivotal shift in thought when investigating the artist and his work and now began to consider my role as an artist within this placement as opposed to a student. I studied the image and after researching his blog, could not find any information as to whether he was commissioned to make the work, for the article or whether he had made the work first and then the publication had approached him to use it.

This intrigued me, as recently on other parts of the course, I have been exploring what ‘Site-Specific’ art is, and situational art and believe that I can relate the theory here. If Guido was commissioned to create this piece specifically, then the work could be framed as ‘Site-adjusted’ work, as Robert Irwin put it in his ‘Being and Circumstance’. Guido would have considered the site, (in this case, the magazine, the brief and the context of the work) but would have made the work in his studio to then be transported/uploaded to the site/place/publication for display. On the other hand, If Guido made the work and then, the publication approached him, the work would have lost most of its identity and authenticity in the process of tearing it from its place of production, and context and presenting it in this whole new framework of a psychology magazine.

DEFINING PRACTISE - EVALUATION

When receiving the brief, we were asked to solve a problem. This was to ‘generate ideas for an inspiring graphic-based outcome that communicates an interesting message relating to a topic you are passionate about. This could be a cause, an organisation, or a message that informs or persuades us.’ The first thing that came to mind was to produce an anti-internet tracking campaign. This is a topic I am definitely passionate about and already had various knowledge about. This would help me to build the foundations of my project. The choice of anti-internet tracking seemed to very suitable and is a topic I believe few people are aware of. This also meant there are a lot of people to try to persuade.

The demographic for my project was very broad. I wanted to target anyone who uses the internet and is currently unaware of the process our data goes through every time we use the internet. This is a very large audience so I would have to think about a lot of angles in order to suitably create something for everyone.

Before beginning my project, I needed to first find out more about the topic myself. I stumbled across one particular website - https://donottrack-doc.com/en/episodes/ - which seemed to hold all the answers I was looking for. It featured a series of around 9 videos which outlined the entire process of online data transfer as well as providing a number of shocking statistics which I could later use to my advantage. I combined this newfound knowledge with what I already knew to put myself in an appropriate place to begin brainstorming my initial ideas.

I think that my best ideas were the messages behind the posters I produced for the campaign. I wanted to create several visual metaphors which captured exactly what I was trying to say in one image. I am particularly happy with the satellite poster and the map ‘geo-tag’ attack poster. I feel that the images on the poster could portray what I was trying to communicate, without the need for a text accompaniment. I’m also delighted with how well I managed to superimpose the satellite into the photograph I took and have received a lot of positive feedback from peers and friends.

Most of my initial ideas came to mind whilst watching the videos on the Do Not Track website. I quickly sketched out what I had thought of whilst pausing the videos. This meant I had some ideas for the development stage before I had even started it, providing myself with a head start to the next section of the project. During the development stage I narrowed down my initial ideas into a selection of the best, most visually striking ideas.

During the research stage, I looked at a number of practitioners, not looking particularly at the style of one artist, but a collective overall ‘glitchy’ art style which I found many practitioners had decided to work in. Some of my favourites were found on Behance. Artists such as Guido Iafigliola and Stefan Hürlemann really caught my eye as a style I could try to reproduce and combine into my own style of work. I saved and referenced their work in my sketchbook, providing a number of styles I could look back to during the project and cross-check my own style with theirs. 

When creating my final outcomes, I used a range of editing processes. This included initial sketches drawn out on paper which would later develop into digital illustration, photography, web design, typography, branding and corporate identity. I used a number of applications to achieve a solution, namely the iOS application called Glitché. I used this to create around 80% of the glitchy style implemented in my work. It allowed me to take any of my photographs and manipulate it in such a way that would be nearly impossible to do by hand. This app is what allowed me to capture the exact style I was looking for. Other software used included a handful of the Adobe applications used in combination to achieve a final aesthetic. I had 3 final outcomes; the brand, the posters and the website. I wanted all 3 to have a distinct style that could be recognised as a brand.

The first solution I needed to create was the brand itself. Without this I couldn’t produce the posters or the website. I began by brainstorming ideas for a name. I eventually settled on the name Snowden. This was the perfect name as it pays a homage to Edward Snowden as well as having a nice ring to it. Edward Snowden is a key figured involved in the anti-internet tracking movement. He leaked a number of NSA documents to the world which revealed how industries were collecting our data and using it to their advantage, and the people’s disadvantage. He is currently seeking asylum in Russia as he is now wanted by the US for two counts of violating the Espionage Act of 1917 and theft of government property. In short, he gave up his life to reveal this information to the world. For this reason, I believe that Snowden is a more than fitting candidate for the name of my brand.

Next I had to create the logo. I began by writing out the word Snowden in different letterforms to see which one would suit it best. I then began drawing small illustrations of mountainous shapes and forms that would later accompany the type. I narrowed my illustrations down to 2 contenders and began recreating them digitally. This would allow me to freely combine the designs with different typefaces and alter aspects like colour and size on the fly. 

Once I had a logo and an identity in place I could begin to produce the posters. As I had already thought of the designs in the research stage, I simply looked back in my sketchbook and produced the ideas digitally. In total I chose to create 6 posters from the original 8 ideas. I then added my logo, a QR code and the hashtag #DoNotTrack to each poster. It was starting to come together.

For the final solution I wanted to create a website which could be accessed from the QR code on the posters. The website designs needed to continue the same ‘glitchy’ style from the posters and logo. This came about a lot more easily than I thought and I once again used the Glitché app to produce a number of images to use throughout the site. I created a homepage, results page and 3 fact pages which showed some of the key statistics and figures I had found out in my research.

In the whole process I think that the most successful aspects were my poster ideas. I am really pleased with the clear message behind them. This is exactly what I wanted to do from the start. I had a clear plan throughout the project. This is something which I normally struggle to achieve. From the start of the project I knew exactly what I wanted to create and I knew how I was going to do so. Normally I tend to work backwards, by coming up with final outcomes before planning the beginning stages of the project. This time, I started from the ideas stage and sketched out ideas before developing them further. In previous projects I would tend to work only digitally, and skip saving different outcomes, continuing to tweak my work until I came to a single final result. I think it helped a lot that I was really interested in the topic of my project already. This allowed me to really get into the project as it was something I felt passionate and cared about. My project is something I feel should have already been done as awareness needs to made about exactly how the internet works. But I am glad that I can be one of the first. I think I managed my time really well and didn’t really find myself falling behind schedule.

When looking at what was unsuccessful in the whole process, I think that the brand creation took a bit longer than it should have. I was struggling to think of a name for a long time and without this I was unable to create a style for the rest of the brand. Overall there’s actually not a lot that went wrong. I could have probably looked at a wider range of art styles before choosing the glitchy style that I adopted, but at the same time I knew from the start that this was the right decision. 

I think that I have adopted a way of working that operates really well for me. This is probably the most confident I have been for any project and I will continue to work in the same way – jotting down any ideas that come to mind in my sketchbook at any stage, providing foundations for the later stages of the project. I could potentially spend longer on the research stage, but for this project I already had a fair amount of knowledge on the topic and could afford to do this.

Overall, I have really enjoyed this project and it has helped me to create a method of working that fits me well. I look forward to seeing what I can produce for projects in the future.
