After reading an awesome study on digital art done by Charmaine Li for iGNANT we revisited some artist mentioned in the article. Here is Andreas Nicolas Fischer, we mentioned few years ago. A Berlin-based artist working with generative systems, physical representations of data as well as visualizations of digital processes. Apart his famous "Schwarm I" generative art complex from 2012, he was in to a lot of new digital experiments exhibited worldwide recently that are worth to explore on his personal website now

"Faig Ahmed distorts the patterns of traditional Azerbaijani rugs, dimantling their structure in order to build compositions that trick the eye by appearing to melt off the wall. By rearticulating the original design, he creates contemporary sculptural forms that look like digital glitches, patterns flatlining halfway through a tapestry or gradually morphing into a digital mosaic." via Colossal
Ahmed lives and works in Baku, Azerbaijan and graduated from the sculpture department of Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Art in 2004. The artist previously focused on painting, video, and installation, but now currently focuses on textile and sculpture. Ahmed recently had a solo exhibition with Italian gallery Montoro12 titled “Omnia Mutantur, Nihil Interit,” and is currently in the group exhibition “Crafted: Objects in Flux” at The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston until January 10, 2016
"Ezin izan esan ezin" is a glitch art series created by Basque Country (Spain) designer Zigor Samaniego, literally the title translates as "Could not say no".
The second Russian instalment (OFFFRUSSIA) of the most famous design festival OFFF (on Tour) rooted in Moscow this time with speakers like IDEO, Joshua Davis, AKQA and more. Designcollector (Arseny Vesnin) is proud to take a humble direction of it's concept and together with Nord Collective (Vladimir Tomin and Alex Frukta) delivered a first video based on a glitch tracking concept you will enjoy shortly. Music composed by Arseniy Sysoletin
Australian polymath artist Nick Thomm shows of his latest artworks online for everyone and during solo shows for special ones.
Russian painter and illustrator Kate Toluzakova (Instagram) just made a new addition to her collection of canvases. "Floral Explosion" is an artwork based on glitch experiments and recreated in oil on canvas by hands. You need to check Kate's portfolio and shop to complete the full picture about her body of works
Last month, Google revealed that it uses its own artificial intelligence program, known as Artificial Neural Networks, to classify and sort its images.
The technology basically works by spotting patterns in pictures in order to identify them - and it's already being used in Google's new photos app to recognise faces and animals. You can follow #deepdream for more weirdness

Whatever advertising campaign is this I want this SLOCHE drink now. The first Sloche campaign produced by Havas Worldwide Canada marks a strategic shift for Couche-Tard's iconic product. It showcases the brand instead of a particular flavor

"Las Vegas expands upon these myths by serving as the symbol of conquered Nature, a city where casinos rise like mountains, each borrowing from the fabled Venice, Paris, New York, ancient Egypt and Rome. Along with Nature, time and place have been overcome; this is a total victory where anything is possible—a template for cities like Dubai or Abu Dhabi. In ‘A Corrupt Nature’ our traditional viewpoint of Las Vegas is flipped. Our focus is sets of lonely, forgotten trees and strange piles of detritus resembling pyramids, the casinos far in the background. Immediately, we’re reminded of the barren landscape that preceded our arrival. Through the use of color, these elements transcend their ordinary appearance and become symbols of Nature’s inherent power and endurance, patiently outlasting eras and species."

After Hector Ayuso had put Onesize in touch with graphic artist James White (aka Signalnoise) to collaborate on OFFF Barcelona 2015 Main Titles, the question arose: "How will the styles ever mix?" They chose to give the audience a souvenir by printing the titles in the form of a card deck. Fifty three designs were made by James White and his team (back in Canada), while Onesize developed two 80s TV Commercials, selling the card deck and promising a better life for dysfunctional families.This film tells a story about Jason, a boy who bought this deck of cards 30 years ago as a last resort to save his family. It all turned out quite different for him and he blames Sean - the kid in the commercials - whose "no losers, only winners” catchphrase has eaten through Jason’s life like a cancer. Now, in present time, Jason’s journey of revenge is coming to a close. Before the film was shown to the audience at the festival, over 2000 printed versions of the card game where handed out to every single person in the room as "take-away titles".

Anonymous is ongoing series of digital artwork released by Tbilisi-based artist and Designcollector resident Giga Kobidze
We are getting close to the open contest of Designcollector Digital Decade + OFFF15 (will announce soon), that will explore Glitch in its beauty this May. Meanwhile dig the exploding, virtual topographies of Jhovany Quiroz. Starting with a single image, he deconstructs 3D terrain using commonplace imaging apps. From the iPhone Camera and Photo Editor, to Mextures (for layers, light leaks, and emulsion effects) and Glitché (for three-dimensional imaging), his digital arsenal yields artworks that resemble what we imagine it would look like if a stick of dynamite was sucked into a black hole.
Inspired (or not) by the most beautiful game Monument Valley guys from SEMIDOME released the LAST VOYAGE. A cinematic experience inspired by science-fiction movies, each chapter is visually unique and explores an original concept with completely new game mechanics. Go through psychedelic portals, explore grand minimal forms, solve mind-bending puzzles or race against the stars. While these chapters form a continuous narrative, the players are constantly surprised with new ways to interact as they seamlessly transition from one chapter to another.
