Apple iOS Maps app is no good for practical reasons but making random artistic glitches. What is creating the futuristic effect is pictures mapped onto a 3D topography, some structures are too complex for the app‘s algorithms to handle. Peder Norrby (graphics company Trapcode) has collected the many failures on the Apple’s Maps app into a gallery on Flickr. Houses look like melting, Trees are flowing out from buildings, hole opening in the middle of a viaduct. Glitch art is created from digital or analog image errors, caused by users intervention and incompatibility.
