DIGITAL ARTEFACTS is the artist, Elizabeth’s first exhibition and is the culmination of years of hardwork and struggle.
A self-taught digital artist from Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway, Elizabeth has overcome a lifetime of mental illness, battling anxiety and depression with the help of friends and family to put on an exhibition.
Glitch art is the aestheticisation of corruption. To live in the digital age is to experience glitches. The deterioration of data is inescapable. As soon as matter is created it is destined to be destroyed.
The aesthetic of glitch is not only to embrace that which is imperfect, but to create it. Through a process of destruction and transformation, the data is corrupted and used to create unique art.
I am fascinated by the juxtaposition of the simple and the chaotic. When the clean lines of a building are warped and twisted. When the normality of landscape becomes disjointed and jarring. In this age of technology where life is no longer experienced unless viewed through a screen, reality becomes subjective.
