"DOUBT" BY ALEXANDER DYOMKIN

Glitch art is a visual style utilizing digital or analog errors for aesthetic purposes. Glitch artists either distort digital data or physically manipulate electronic devices. The glitch visual aesthetic can be traced back in the XX century in the film A Colour Box, 1935 by Len Lye, the video sculpture TV Magnet, 1965 by Nam June Paik and forward to the more contemporary works such as Panasonic TH-42PWD8UK Plasma Screen Burn, 2007 by Cory Arcangel. Glitch effect is so widely used in digital art and design, that it has become a visual cliche.

Aleksander Dyomkin (Dyoma21), street artist and painter, applied the aesthetics of error in digital space to his first offline glitch work on the random wall in the middle of nowhere — on the territory of an abandoned stabling in Ryazan oblast. The rhythm of the image conveys a state of uncertainty and feelings of a wavering person. This single piece led to a series of works, in which Aleksander examines and visualizes his own mental states. One of them is a huge "Immersion" mural on the wall of the former electrical equipment and cable plant that has been turned into creative space. The "Street Art Today" platform included this work in its best murals' list.
