CRTCL/Klavier – Low Noise
I used a lot of stuff here – Photogrammetry, 3dsmax/Vray, After Effects, Modulation, Pixel sorting and so much other. It reperesents my 1,5 year stay in the beautiful Austrian Alps. Cheers to the beautiful people of Innsbruck and Stubaital. The video is very personal and it’s recorded, edited and modified only by me.
CRTCL, Pianu
I’m a 3d generalist based in Bulgaria. Strong interest in VFX and unique visual styles. Founder of Terraformers, a small creative studio that I made with couple of friends 6 months ago and now looking for financing/clients. The track is made by my fellow man Pianu (https://www.youtube.com/user/MrLonenol) with whom we created this piece that we hope you will enjoy.

Brok3n-Machin3s
Inspired by the movement and shapes of industrial machines. As well as in robot movies like Metropolis. We did a really crazy drum and base to accompany the results of the glitch experimentation. We wanted to create a colorfull video of the emotions and fantasy arund the concept of Broken Machines.
SUPERFICIES MÍNIMAS. Authors: Marielasandía, SN0WKAP, GAB0 SEGURA
At Superficies Minimas we develop audiovisual shows where the techniques of video mapping stand out, the construction of figures and the ingenious intervention of spaces. We create high-impact experiences customized to needs of the client. We create interactive montages, glitch art and 2D animation.

Riot Strike Riot
These 3 videos are part of my audiovisual installation entitled “Riot Strike Riot” which is based on the political repression and social disorders of recent years with a focus on Greece, but also with influences from abroad. The installation has presented from a subjective point of view, the socio-political image of today through audiovisual digital media, interactive systems, and objects. Videos and audio files were manipulated trying to combined in aesthetics of electroacoustic music and video art. Basically technique was digital video and sound editing. (The link of the installation is here: https://vimeo.com/530094571)
Giorgos Gargalas
George Gargalas works as an audiovisual artist and performer in combination with a wide range of artistic media.
Focusing on sound, his work explores the relationship between contemporary music creation with video art, installations and performance. Working with topics such as human-computer interaction, political art and sound sculpture, his pieces are framed in a wide range of conceptual art with aesthetics from electro-acoustic music and video art. In his installations spectators are aimed to actively participate in the artwork through interactive tools such as microphones and motion sensors.

me with and without my brother
me with and without my brother is a short experimental video exploring isolation and separation between brothers using original, real-time Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Bros. 3 audiovisual corruptions.
Using wildly unpredictable real-time ROM corruptions, the process of making this footage was intense, and felt entirely hands-on. As I spent hours and days within the first few moments of Super Mario 64, I grew to understand its fragility, and learned to be patient with its mysterious signs.
nilson carroll
nilson carroll (he/him) is a barista-poet, ROM hacker, and queer video game artist based in Rochester, New York. He is a champion and curator of anti-fascist, feminist, pro-affection new media and games, and is the founder of DIY queer art games collective swampbabes. nilson holds an MFA from Visual Studies Workshop, and has participated in screenings and performances internationally, including Mono no Aware, the Milan Machinima Festival, Croatia’s Fu:Bar Glitch Festival, and Broken Screen in Buenos Aires.

DiDySC – Digital Doom
Different metaprompts were processed by machine learning systems to create AI-generated visualisations. Then, the images produced were combined as video files, exported, morphed and edited altogether. An AI-inspired voice-over guides the viewer through reflections about representation of the AI’s self-consciousness, opens an immersive and mixed-media metaverse and performs a virtual presentation of machine learning glitched perceptions’ exploration –
ellis laurens
i was born and raised in France. then I spent my childhood in Abu Dhabi, my teenage years in Casablanca, and I came back in South of France to begin my studies in a literary preparatory class. i just got a cinema license in Paris where i am currently entering a master’s degree in visual arts. i was always interested in experimenting different creative processes in order to produce hybrid mixed-media artworks. i have been working with digital interfaces for a few years now, but there is so much more to learn and create.

Lisières (En : edges/margin)
The piece is divided in three videos that are meant to be displayed simultaneously on three walls and a two points soundtrack. The videos should be placed such as one can’t see two of them at the same time. One of the speakers should be in the center and the second one away from it as far as possible in the room. The first one is used for the main line of sound, whereas the second one is only here for reverb and resonance.
When it comes to the treatment of the videos, it mainly came down to datamoshing loops of approximately 10 to 20 seconds in on themselves in order to create a chain of reaction that would try to destroy completely each videos in the long run. After a few tries, I selected the most interesting parts of the glitched out videos and reversed them to create seamless loops that could be displayed indefinitely. The sound piece is also a loop, that was made through a granulation synthesis process based on the sound of a car passing by. I went for a destructive way of making, recording as I played the car sample as an instrument. I then edited the best parts for them to form kind of a narrative that would play with the videos. Each loop (sound and video) has a different length so that there would never be the same association of sound and image for each given spectator. The smallest loop is 15 min and the longest about 40.
{The url you’ll find bellow is an excerpt of 5 min of only the video and sound work, I’ll also put a link to my website where you’ll be able to see some photos of the installation}
Victor Tetaz-Josse
Born in Paris in the midst 90’s, I grew up in Lyon where I had my first encounter with art through music and filmmaking as a teenager. Shortly after high school I left to Grenoble University for a bachelor’s degree in performing art and a master’s degree in cinema. After a few years of “conventional” filmmaking in uni I began getting obsceced with “experimental” sound works and video, which made me engage in a second master’s degree in Nantes’s school of fine arts where I focus on photography and video art. My main subjects of work are currently liminal spaces and the search for ghosts, which I explore by pushing the limits of every medium I use. Hence, the appeal for glitch art when it comes to digital video. Through the accumulation of corrupted video loops I am on the search for glimpses and prints of parralel realities that could’ve existed once but got lost in the making.
