"Losing Face"

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"

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I originally made the full-sized image back in August, but have since returned to it in my files folder multiple times and wanted to post it.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