Although it is nearly impossible to duplicate computer glitches I have been the proud creator (or the recipient) of such beautiful forms of visual representation through miscommunication during the transcoding of data on my home and work iMacs. Shown above are an array of spontaneous misfires interpreted from software application crashes over the course of one day.
I was also able to harvest an image produced from a spontaneous computing crash and turn it into a formal one-of-a-kind rug design. Broken code in the form of complex line art appears organic and traditional from a distance but strikingly digitized upon closer inspection. Not knowing what the future will bring, I look forward to the next spontaneous malfunction that produces an unexpected composition so that I can once again put it to good use.
