David Szauder analysis

"Gil"

I've been interested in glitch art for quite a while, and I when I found David Szauder's work I was inspired to finally make my own. He has a series of pictures called Lost Fragments - Failed memories that explores how our memory works through glitch art. He creates the pictures digitally, presumably in photoshop, and tries to make it seem like a video card glitch, but with less colors.

my experiment

The pictures from the series are mainly portraits, so they have a good composition that focuses on the face of the person. He's tried to keep his pictures looking vintage by keeping the limited color scheme, but for my experiment I added as much color as possible. By changing the colors I also intentionally changed the mood of the picture. The original picture had a more innocent look, and with my collage it's the opposite - the green/yellow color scheme is now purple/red/blue.I also added a slight 3D effect by editing the layer channels. I love doing digital collage, so I'll happily do more of this in the future.
