source images are memetic in nature (read: i browsed my phone's downloads folder) making the series closer to net art

long_bacon.png - meme referring to the lesbian flag
bright and colorful image, flowing long lesbian flag at the bottom of the screen, the handwritten words 'long bacon' highlighted twice above on a sparkling red backgrounda very blue image with a digital pattern of lines in a grid sometimes going vertically, sometimes horizontally. some rainbow streaks go through the image. at the bottom there seems to be a sphynx cat (allegedly floppa bingus) silently waiting for the owner of the doorbell camera to come open up the doora low quality version of the windows XP green hill wallpaper, seemingly overlaid on top of a distorted version of itself. weird clipart edits fill the scene; there's a flying telephone insect, a star in the sky and it's ugly reflection below, a skeleton hand reaching at the image from above, a long human hand illustration rising from between the hills, a confused person next to a see-through glowing turtle-centipede, a clamshell made of two bathtubs, and a no-smoking-allowed sign with the red stripe having a tight grip on the bottom part on the hills.an abstract artwork in a luxurious warm violet and bright orange-yellow, looks simultaneously painted and digital, contrast seems to create a rectangular 3D hole on the righta grainy green smudged image with some brown goop in the top-centeran abstract digital painting with large brushstrokes with a sharpened rainbow texture, the background is brownish, but there's a really bright white-blue bit at the top-centerlarge blueish and greenish circles in kind of three columns arranged pretty randomly, the middle coluimn is brighter and greener, and the ones on the side are more dark, blue, and purplea blurry-looking digital painting with a nice burgundese backdrop and a bright rectangular ancient paper yellow area at the top-centera blurry-looking digital image with a nice forest green backdrop and a bright rectangular sunflower yellow area at the top-center. the brushstroles are just circular imprints of something with frilly glowing edgesan ultra-wide image in purple and blue with a lot of artificial sharpening. it feels as if some long tentacle or elephant is reaching towards you from the right or something. the image has an overall grainy digital texture

This is a very broad series of heavily manipulated digital images, exploring the textures both in the source images themselves, but also digital brushes. Source images can be anything, from grainy images taken with my phone, to screenshots, to 3D renders, to stock photos. All works contain some parts of the source image, sometimes recognizable (at least when being presented with the source image), and sometimes warped so much as to entirely unrecognizable. I identify this series to exist within the broader landscapes of glitch art, abstract art, net art and media art.

Most works in this series have been made with Procreate, where its selection of brushes and filters and its other unique parts serve as a limiting factor and a source of inspiration for the works. A subset of this series has been made with Krita, often showcasing a recognizably different style while following the same ethos. The source images of the works using Krita differ too, often being 2000s clip art or magazine cutouts.

I sometimes post works from this series to Mastodon under the tag #mem_ry__fault with more in-depth alt-text.
