Average Glitch Blocks
For funsies, I averaged the glitch blocks together to see if any patterns might emerge that way. Nothing too striking, but there are some subtleties. Also, green seems to be the glitch color of choice.

Four More Glitch Movies
Four more videos created by pulling out each 8×8 glitch block from screenshots I took of my display freaking out. I think this might be it for a while… number 7 was pretty involved and I pulled out around 1150 frames. These are definitely interesting experiments. Some themes start to emerge, some pulses and rhythms
More Display Glitch Movies
I went through three of the display screenshots that were most intensely populated with 8×8 glitch blocks and pulled out all the errors. It took a while, and it’s something that I’ll probably do every now and again, since it’s a bit monotonous, to say the least. However, that means I have three glitch block
Random Walk: 450 Harrison / SOWA
Another random walk done with chalk, this time down at 450 Harrison at the galleries. I was sitting at Bromfield today, so the location was a no-brainer.
8×8 Pixel Glitch Block Video
Starting back in February, the display on my iMac started regularly glitching. These glitches consisted of random blocks of 8×8 pixels that would flicker across the display as it tried to refresh from the mouse pointer moving or a window closing. Sometimes the display looked like this: Which looked like this, pixel-to-pixel: And even infected
Solstice Skygrid
Here’s a single-day reproduction of the sky samples from the solstice yesterday:
Skygrid through 15 June 2013
Another two weeks, another strip added to the skygrid. The solstice is immanent, and then the light starts to contract!
Another Chalk Random Walk
I went to the other end of the Somerville Hike and Bike Trail for my third random walk early Sunday morning:
Weekend Icosacomposite Blitzkrieg!
I ran a letterpress job Saturday morning, and figured I’d have some time to do a composite video afterward. It kinda turned into an afternoon-long video outing, starting in Copley Square by the Boston Public Library, going to the Mass Ave bridge over the Charles in Cambridge, and ending up in Central Square. It got
Urban Icosacomposite – Breakbeats by Boston City Hall
I moved perhaps 300 ft from my position in Quincy Market and set up my camera in the square facing City Hall, and managed to record a pair of buskers with guitars doing neo-folk instrumentals and a drummer with a collection of plastic pails. All of them were drowned out by the breakbeats blared by
