glitch videos on youtube

TV glitch sampler--Click to watch on my youtube account

So what we have here is a sampler of cable tv glitches captured last week. I have figured out that the old HD controller in my tv is incapable of rendering some HD signals with newer types of data streams. When the controller fails the picture is chunked and pixilated in spectacular fashion.

All I need to do next is figure out how to digitize the video directly from the TV and I will be all set up to do some great glitch videos. I am pretty sure I have all the equipment I need to hack a signal out of the TV, I just need to dig up some cables and find the external box for my media center laptop and I will be good to go!

Ready mADE gLITch #2 --Click to watch on my youtube account

Ready made Glitch #2 is one of my favorites, its taken from the first series of glitches I captured a while back. It is from the tv series Lazy Town.

How I Became the Bomb - Who Dares Wins

1. Salvage Mission 2. A Formal Occasion 3. Tomorrow's Date

I get a lot of band press releases for my blog and I post very few of them. How I Became theBomb is a different story. Their mix of electronics, rock with great stylized vocoder processed vocals is fantastic. The space/military theme with Strangelove influences is awesome. Were I still playing music in the old electronic rock project I was in 10 years ago I have no doubt we would be playing similar bills.

In short, I highly recommend checking out How I Became theBomb. My favorite from Who Dares Wins is Tomorrow's Date. You can get the whole release for free in exchange for an email address.

They have released a video for "Salvage Mission" with their ep as well. It is really well done and was directed by Jonathan Kingsbury and Rob Paynter.

They got the helmet on ebay and apparently it is an authentic Russian cosmonaut helmet, at any rate it made the singer Jon Burr very sick after the several hour video shoot.

They have 4 upcoming digital releases planned through June of next year.

Each volume will have 3 songs accompanied with a video. The volumes--named after famous military slogans--will be released on various notable dates, all of which are listed below.

Vol. 1 Who Dares Wins – November 5, 2008 (Guy Fawkes Day)
Vol. 2 Foremost Sentinel – January 1, 2009 (New Years Day)
Vol. 3 They Can What It Seems They Cannot – March 15, 2009 (Ides of March)
Vol. 4 Through Adversity to the Stars – June 6, 2009 (D-Day)

David Crismon -- Dislocated Histories

David Crismon works in oil on metal panel. At first glance his works remind me of something done using XVI32 (link to Dick Cheney meets XVI32), except with actual craftsmanship rather than hacker tomfoolery.

Crismon says, "I want to show the process of recovering and constantly revising the past; to show history being altered into mere data.". His pieces are created using very traditional processes but the glitch connection is unmistakable. He paints classical historical images but recreates them with missing, repeated and incomplete data.

Artist statement:
"History has become subject to re-interpretation, through endless investigation, alteration, slicing and editing. Consequently, various distortions and interferences of information occur. By displacing these images from the past, into the present, my intention is to accentuate these changes; reconstructing various historical works where some information has been duplicated, altered or is missing altogether." - David Crismon 2006.
