This book presents a really colorful and vibrant variety of unusual visual glitch artwork from some
very talented people.

Authors
_______

Ant Scott (beflix) Since 2001, Scott has collected abstract images occurring naturally on the computer screen from software glitches and the visualisation of data. Recent work combines the glitch aesthetic with traditional media, making photographic exposures directly from the computer screen.

Iman Moradi is a Senior Lecturer at Huddersfield University, where he teaches aspiring artists and Designers in the field of Multimedia Design. He holds an MA in Smart Design and graduated with a First Class degree with his work titled, Neuromirror and his study of the visual Glitch and its many facets as part of an academic study on Glitch Aesthetics. He coined the phrase Glitchalike to describe a non pure or faked glitch and is currently pursuing a PhD in 'Glitch Art'.

Joe collaborated with Chris Murphy (Fehler / Fällt ) on the book's design and both played a part in additonal image sourcing. Chris Murphy is a Subject Director at the University of Ulster and has recently completed another book.
