Glitch 010: Go and Glitch No More

Tharanas Chuaychoo is an absolute master at taking the visual and aural exhaust of the technical world and turning it into hypnotic pieces of art. Televisions gone awry and damaged digital screens appear to feature prominently in Chuaychoo's work, but they are not merely colorized or reorganized renditions. Chuaychoo makes art from that mysterious and slightly uncomfortable zone where technical byproducts mate with the human psyche, a place where dreams are imbued with the scorching fuzz of

Abstract Geometric Shapes, Very Real Cool

Do you have a friend that seems smarter, richer, hipper, and better traveled than all your other friends, yet they have a tiny apartment and few possessions? In fact, they own a folding table, two found chairs, a vase containing one flower, two coffee cups, and one picture. They are longer than the couch they sleep on, and a swift visual inspection indicates one closet only. They wear the same clothes often, but they are complimented on their style everywhere they go. What is this person

Psychedelic Daydream, Never End

Psychedelic Daydream is a set of swirling, bright, psychedelic swaths, ostensibly for backgrounds, but perfectly welcome as foregrounds. One special quality of Melanie McCabe's Psychedelic Daydream is its vintage softness, its warm familiarity. Here is an expression of psychedelia from vinyl album covers and easier times. There's something too personal and genuine happening in these images—the McCabe magic of imbuing the abstract with concrete emotion and personality. That's pure

Reflexion Background Texture Volume 3 Takes Over Me

First impressions of Reflexion Background Texture Volume 3: goo* from 1950s science fiction; opening credits of James Bond films; Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds; the Lizard King's hot tub; dissected outer-space dinosaurs; post-apocalyptic chemical oceans that smell like roses and taste like taffy; Pink Floyd's Interstellar Overdrive; navigating the asteroid belt hungover; Fordite... Enough. The possibilities are endless with this beautiful gunk. Nicholas Lokasasmita created this

Plastic Textures: This Bubble Wrap Pops

"Vintage" indicates something from a past era, or something new designed to have the appearance of the past. So although the word works to describe most of Indieground's products, it's not a perfect fit. The reason for that resides in the sheer perfection of Indieground's renditions. They are so convincing, that calling them "vintage" in the sense of new things designed to appear old doesn't do them justice. Nor do they have the dusty, found appearance of actual items from the past, like a

Light Leaks 50: Everybody Needs the Light

You've just completed your Great Novel. It's set in Prague in the 1920s, and it's about a quiet archivist in the Klementium Library who travels to the 18th Century through a portal in one of the library's massive astronomical globes. Later that day you wrap up your album, a Neo-Romantic choral piece, slow and mysterious, dark and funereal (you're slightly annoyed when the sound engineer compares it to Arvo Pärt). Before you get home, you decide to take a selfie. You think it's the best
