This is a region of RAM that holds an image of the desktop, but it appears
to have become corrupted so now it's a mash of glitchified icons.

Ever realise that an IBM floppy diskette being defragmented could look so beautiful?
Click image for larger pixels than are good for you.

And here's another defrag screenshot (my C: drive). As usual, the colours have
been remapped in accordance with my inimitabe taste!

Today's glitch is a heavily colour-processed photograph of a TV screen
during a cable service provider glitch. Mmmm, yes. It's a bit different
to the stuff I normally do, but it's nice to have a break from hard-edged
patterns.

Ooh, jag gillar Glitch Art! So much to do, so little time to do it.
This is an emulator's video RAM viewer of a code-bended game binary.
You must also read about DV (Data Visualization). Make it so.

I like it when digital arty-farty types - me included:) - have stupidly
overblown web pages with tons and tons of CRAP, so much so that the
browser can't render it without having an aneurism. I feed off these pages,
because they produce nice glitches! It's like the Food Chain in nature.
I am the plankton feeding off the big fishy websites.
Also, everybody should have a recycling bin for glitches next to their computer.

If you only see horizontal lines in today's image, your monitor is badly
callibrated. If you can see all the other stuff without squinting
and pressing your nose up against the monitor, again, your monitor
is badly callibrated. See how I make you work hard to appreciate the art?
It is fun.

Reading an interesting book at the moment - "Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind".
It has quite a good tagline - Why Intelligence Increases When You Think Less.
I've always known this - as I've told one of my friends before -
"you're fast when it doesn't matter". I don't see how fast-thinkers can come
up with anything CURLY. You know what I mean. Curly things are things which
are really deep and non-obvious. Here's a curly glitch arising from some code
I've been working on which isn't handling the screen very well yet...

OK, you-know-who, I've put up some screenshots of my home-made
VJ software in the SPRAWL2002 page. I hope you're happy now..

It's been a while since the last GameBoy Advance emulator glitch,
so here's a new one for your digital delight. The washed-out green 
colouring versus the white dots and grids remind me, in a somewhat
obvious way, of a city at night. But you'll also notice the dark
green "buildings" with their dark green/grey "lights" dotted amongst
the buldings towards the background; these ones I like to
think are secret Government labs engaged in countersurveillance activities
of a highly dubious nature.

It has occurred to be quite recently that most of my images these days
are monochrome, and I'm not sure why this is. I think my brain can
only deal with one colour at a time - I have a monochromatic brain!
But - aren't lasers monochromatic too? - they project a beam of electromagnetic
waves containing exactly one frequency component. Therefore, my brain
is a laser. It's a hazard I've learned to live with..
