THE AESTHETICS OF ROB SHERIDAN
Sheridans work differs from artists like Amerkia in that his glitch art has a more formulaic and ‘deliberate’ look to it. Whereas Amerika let mistakes happen and values the look of imperfection, Sheridans work uses glitches as design and only chooses ones which give a sense of symmetry and conform more to conventional artistic design.
Instead of using hexed files or photmoshing as a from of ‘cracking’ or ‘breaking’ a file and then contending with those results, he uses Photoshop and other editing software to crate fake glitches that carry the aesthetic of Glitch Art. This gives Sheridan more control over his work and how ‘glitches’ effect the original material. His work is therefore a mimic of a glitch but also pleasing to the eye as opposed to somewhat disjointed which is a trait of other artworks which use genuine glitches.
