Glitching AImages: the AImaglitch
This talk develops ideas proposed with my theoretical work on Glitch Art. It addresses glitching AI and develops material published by Semiotica in my “Computer Creates a Cat” article. These experiments have led to a variety of AI-generative glitches that emerge from the image generation process, reflecting a software-based ‘mechanical failure’ in the AI system itself. In working with these glitches, I have developed a technique that allows me to use the static images as keyframes for an animorph animation where the tweens are hallucinations of the animation process, doubling the glitching in distinctive ways.
