Glitch Art Dot Com

Sure you can toss a 99 cent app on your phone and snap exceptionally broken photos until you forever break glitch art (nyuk nyuk) but there is something unpredictably charming about working with a real broken camera.  Over the years I have been tinkering (as I do) with a number of different digital cameras & DSLRs.  The goal is to settle upon a model with a mod stable enough to release.  Digital cameras pose some challenges as they are lacking any room for controls & not built with repairs in mind (a number of cameras have died at the hands of just trying to open them).  Despite this I think I’ve settled upon both a design and a camera that may be headed your way some time soon.  While it might be a little while before any release date is set in stone it is on the front burner.

Here is a glimpse at some recent flicks from the BPMC glitch camera prototype.  Thanks for looking.
