Part 3: The Ascendance The Glitch Resistance, born from centuries of underground glitch art, aimed to hack reality's code. Their actions triggered the Ascendance, birthing hybrid entities that transcended organic, digital, and quantum realms.
Reality shattered

Proud to have some of my circuitbent, straight-out-of-camera glitch photography in the Hug 100 Photographers to Watch book! ^.^
Two centuries after the catastrophic Bio-Glitch Incident that devastated New Shanghai, the world has changed dramatically. Strict regulations have pushed cutting-edge glitch art deep underground, spawning a thriving subculture of rebel artists and performers.
In the neon-lit underbelly of megacities, a new art form emerges: Quantum Flux Dancing. Performers merge with advanced quantum technology, allowing parts of their bodies to phase through parallel realities as they move. These "reality drifters" collaborate with glitch artists to create mind-bending, inter-dimensional performances that challenge the very nature of existence.
Competitors in clandestine venues push the boundaries of physics and art, their movements blurring the lines between flesh, light, and possibility. As authorities struggle to contain this new form of expression, the underground scene grows, attracting those who seek to transcend the limitations of a single reality. zora.co/collect/base:0x15c96a2dfa57e2ac9c256366f333a923995eec02/1?referrer=0x25aBCd122ef66bf903f6D529aD41C7DDF3A0dF5b
“Glitch Art: 2525” is now LIVE! Mint: zora.co/collect/base:0xc9e61632aa13cb3e9996bfd7aee819fecdc0417b/4?referrer=0x25aBCd122ef66bf903f6D529aD41C7DDF3A0dF5b
“Glitch Art: 2525" presents a chilling vision of a future where the boundaries between digital manipulation and biological reality have collapsed. In this world, glitch artists have evolved beyond corrupting pixels and code, turning their attention to the very fabric of life itself.
"Glitch Art: 2525" drops tomorrow—8/16/24, my 1st @bellosights Blueprint Program creation. Merging biology and art, new lifeforms emerge as living sculptures.
As glitch art evolves, can humanity reconcile the blurring lines between creation and creature?
Inspired by a conversation with an AI about the future of glitch art, "Glitch Art: 2525" explores a dystopian world where artists manipulate living organisms as easily as we manipulate pixels today.
Combining AI-generated elements with traditional digital art techniques, the piece offers a visual spectacle that also serves as a cautionary tale about the potential dark side of unchecked artistic and scientific advancement.
To bring this unsettling vision to life, I embraced a hybrid approach, blending AI-generated elements with traditional digital art techniques. My toolkit included: 1 Midjourney: For generating initial visual concepts and surreal biological structures. 2 Runway: To create and manipulate video sequences. 3 Udio: For sound design and audio glitch effects. 4 Videoleap: To edit and composite video layers. 5 Various glitch applications: To add glitch aesthetics to both visual and audio elements.
I’ve been given 10,000 Bonsai from @orb to collect some art—so you know I’m coming for you over the next week or two @glitchart!
So excited to announce I’m one of 10 artists selected for the Bello Blueprints Accelerator Program! Creators will be super-charged with $30K worth of marketing for 2 mints!
Over the next four weeks I’ll also be participating in lots of fireside chats with crypto legends and I couldn’t be more stoked!
