Just updated the Bitweave paper collection. Originally created in 2014, Bitweave is a set of pattern designs that appear woven from abstracted digital bits, forming a collage of fragmented glitch imagery. These designs bring together the structure of traditional weaving with the bold, deconstructed aesthetic of digital glitch art—a distinct fusion of the classic and the contemporary.
The Inspiration Behind Bitweave
Bitweave was born from the idea of combining the structure and rhythm of weaving with the chaotic beauty of glitch art. While weaving patterns rely on intentional repetition and symmetry, glitch art disrupts visual expectations through fragmented and manipulated digital imagery. This contrast—between precision and unpredictability—is at the core of Bitweave.
What is Glitch Art?
Glitch art, often seen as an experimental approach to digital media, uses digital "errors" to create unique visual effects. Artists work with corrupted files or altered data to form unexpected, abstract compositions.
From Traditional Weaving to Digital Patterns
The structure of weaving, with its repetitive patterns and interlocking threads, has long been a staple in design. The Bitweave collection draws on this traditional method while abstracting it through digital bits, adding depth and texture to each pattern.
Collage in Digital Art
Collage techniques, used to piece together visual elements from different sources, play an important role in Bitweave. The process of combining fragments to form something cohesive mirrors the essence of glitch art, where disparate visual elements come together to create something new.
