Glitch Artifacts™

description

We live in an increasingly displaced world. The food and consumer products we eat and use everyday are manufactured with ingredients and processes we know little about, by people we will never meet. Along the path from raw material extraction through production and shipping, many parties have a hand in adding or detracting from the final product. My interest in the project was looking at what properties are lost during the production process. 

This project consisted to two seperate, but related explorations of desconstruction. The first involved digitally manipulating an image repeatedly to "break" it down, in relation to the methods of food processing. The second component involved generating a new form for platform shoes, by slicing up an original shape of a shoe sole, and reassembling it with angled, cross-cut planes.
