7E Guest Artist - Phillip Stearns

No, your computer screen isn’t freaking out.  They are in fact, blankets!  Yes, glitch blankets. Does this make you as gitty as me?  :)

Phillip is a digital artist and textile designer based in Brooklyn NY.  He’s the creator of the YearoftheGlitch, where he posts countless textiles for sale. He “transcode glitches in the cold, hard logic of digital circuits into soft, warm textiles.”

He writes, “Following a successful funding campaign on Kickstarter in 2012, Glitch Textiles has grown to include a range of woven and knit wall hangings and blankets whose patterns are generated using images taken with short circuited cameras and other unorthodox digital techniques, including data visualization aided by the use of tools developed for digital forensics.  For the time being, everything is run by yours truly, though I have to credit my robot weavers and their human overlords in NC and NJ, at Pure Country Weavers and Photothrow.com.  You have their guarantee and mine that all products are manufactured here in the US.”

I can’t decide which one is my favorite - I love them all.
