Project 1 Artist Statement

I had very little experience with AI and random generators, and even less with glitch art, when going into this project. I had only dabbled a little bit with MidJourney when it first came out, but I had no experience with it, and most of the random generators that we used for the first project were completely new to me. However, once we got to the pop quizzes, I realized that we would be using programs that I was already familiar with from my hobbies, however in ways that they were not designed to be used. As I became more and more experienced, I started to enjoy the process of creating and distorting images and videos. I didn't really have a theme for my glitches or my images by the end, but I enjoyed making them, especially the audacity glitches, the fake a glitch and the data-moshing. All in all, I had a great time working on Project 1.
