This collection of recent works from my on-going Digital Debris series are an exploration of new technologies, Pop Art call backs, and embracing glitch, and data bending applications as a form of art making.  They serve as 21st Century process paintings; crunching low rez archival works, HD selfies and video stills into technicolor Rorschach tests.

 THE following pieces represent casual play and digital manipulation. created in an almost meditative automatic writing (in this case editing) sort of practice. The works are playful in their addressing of our urbanoia and anxiety, our isolation and our manipulation of our own emotions in a digital landscape.

Continuing the digital debris series of glitch based photo manipulation as a means of expressing our urbanoia and social media malaise. Some times romantic, sometimes elegiac then shattered in the code transfer.    Jon, digital debris ©2015 (Black Rainbow Alternate)

Following my recent participation in LOUD TATE:CODE and subsequent exhibition at the Tate in London my interest in glitch-based work grew and led me to revisit previous shoots and concepts from my Multiples series and approach them with a new eye. Images culled from various shoots, many never before seen are here distressed, glitched, damaged and reformed as technicolor shrapnel.
