WHAT WE SEE AND MAKE SEEN

Glitch the map

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.
