Phillip Stearn: Glitch Textiles

Date
6 March 2012

The applicability of pixels onto textiles is a convenient one, if not very new, but Phillip Stearn’s Year of the Glitch has created a whole new world of pattern sources for some incidentally beautiful fabric surfaces. Exactly what it says on the tin, Glitch Textiles, takes the unique corruption of the “cold logic of digital systems” – in this case from an intentionally short-circuited camera – and transforms it into a tangible, soft product. Phillip’s eye-wateringly good visuals are part of the greater YOTG archive, an open-source platform where iridescent entropy reigns supreme.
