Project 2 WIP Blog

In project two, I would like to focus on the theme of consumerism and how it has commoditized our society in a way that projects a central focus on materiality.

For this project I am focused on creating glitches that not only show pollution, but also the greed at the center of a consumerist nature. In terms of glitching effects, I plan on using a combination of effects that incorporate the colors of audacity, and flowing effect of pixel sorting.

My interest in consumerism for this project was inspired by seeing the image of a Chanel fashion show that cut down hundred year old trees just for one days worth of use. When I was looking into the industries that account for the largest shares of pollution, the fashion industry appeared as the second largest amount of pollution globally.

I hope to show the impact that consumerism has on the natural world through this glitch series.
