project 7: i made great art




my gif was inspired by glitch, color, and movement. the picture that is in the frame was made by me, i stole a photo from matthew quick and added my own spin to it (the pineapples and apples), i wanted to create something that i could be proud of and i am very happy with how this turned out. there is a genre of music that is gaining popularity now called 'vaporwave'-- from the computer software vaporware (a software or hardware project that fails to be released to the public) vaporwave alludes to a disconnection or separation from reality presented through its original form, heard by a song's manipulation vs. its original source.

 the music is primarily made up of samples of contemporary r&b, smooth jazz, and exotica with heavy synthesized and processed sounds. there are lots of glitches and pitch-bendings in these songs and it inspired me to create something that could go along to that genre of music. the sounds of vaporware are dreamy and hyper-real which is what also draws me to creating this type of art because the music videos for a lot of the artists are dreamy, funky, and captivating in a weird way.
