Statement:
    The Earths in Glitch Earth are depictions of glitch, rather than glitch itself, with a transparent background to make the Earths an actor + event, within multiple contexts (outer space by default). We glitch the world, disturb its rhythms and forms, the glitches in the images look like storms, extreme weather, a planet in crisis. The Earth seems to invert, disintegrate, recompose, as the same prompt is recycled over and over again, through this iteration, the Earth changes scale, regards itself. It explodes into rainbows, color-shifts, chromatic aberration, witnesses its own shadow cast (thrown, glanced) upon the backdrop of glitching dark matter, cosmic static, and the influence of cosmic forces. Glitch has helped us understand our experience of a technological and mediated environment; these Earths have eyes, a self-awareness, to reflect on the situation, to view it from within and without. Glitch is a way for us to synthesize or metabolize our experience of error and disruption.
