ETYMOLOGY
Girih (Persian: گره, “knot”, also written gereh[1]) are decorative Islamic geometric patterns used in architecture and handicraft objects, consisting of angled lines that form an interlaced strapwork pattern. Girih consists of geometric designs, often of stars and polygons, which can be constructed in a variety of ways. [16]
CONCEPT
GIRIHGLITCH is a line of image-processing exploration that emerged from the photo documentation of AWESCOPE. Frames of the animated sculpture were arranged in sequence to create a tiling pattern (seen below). This image was used to test various image processing techniques used to produce “glitched” visuals.
These processes involve manually injecting characters into the rigid protocols and formats used to create images out of data.
Some imperfection break the system, annihilating the resultant image into unintelligible noise or even corrupting a file to the extend that it can no longer be interpreted as an image. Other imperfection produce no discernable visual changes.
In the world of glitch art, the digital image formats are like the laws and societal expectations that we are expected to follow by default. Just as breaking some societal rules can lead to undesirable consequences, altering digital photo code in certain ways can produce unintelligible or even catastrophic results. However, in some cases, breaking these rules can lead to beautiful and unexpected errors that become part of the final work.
In both glitch art and traditional art, it is the willingness to push boundaries, and accept risk that often leads to the most exciting and impactful results.
