#scanner glitch

Early Nine Inch Nails With Teeth sketches/explorations, circa late 2004 - early 2005. Some of the many unused/unfinished stops on the very experimental journey 20 years ago that would lead to the look and feel of the album and its surrounding releases/merch/tour. Methods include digital glitching techniques, scanner glitching, DV data glitching, scientific/medical imaging, and digital photography.

Early Nine Inch Nails With Teeth art, January 2005. Scanner glitching, digital glitching, glass, gel electrophoresis.

At this time 20 years ago, I was refining design mockups for With Teeth after over a year of visual explorations that had begun in New Orleans with the early Bleedthrough concept and gradually evolved into a new aesthetic as we moved to Los Angeles and the album became With Teeth. This piece would become a poster for the album when it released in May 2005.

photon decay 001 / 002. Scanner glitch art created by manually dragging materials through an old broken flatbed scanner (the same scanner I used to make glitch textures in the Nine Inch Nails With Teeth album art).

After a lot of work trying to get them right, I’ve finally translated these two pieces into new prints, and I’m excited to drop them today.

Personally signed/numbered museum quality fine art archival matte giclée prints, limited to 30 pieces. Made and shipped worldwide direct from my home studio.

photon decay 002. A more nefarious, confrontational companion to photon decay 001. Made by hand using the same 20 year old consumer scanner I used for the body of work that became Nine Inch Nails' With Teeth album artwork back in 2003/2004. Hi-res wallpapers of photon decay 001 & 002, along with first looks at some work from my unpublished “digital horizons” scanner glitch series, are up now on my Patreon - a big batch of new art for all your screens!

I’m working on testing this series in print form. Stay tuned…
