The brief was to respond to the river clyde in either time/space/place. I decided to approach the brief in a literal manner and focus on water, which can be both creative and destructive. This led me to a economic theory of capitalism, by Joseph Schumpeter called creative destruction. I choose a dilapidated area of the river clyde which was a disused dock. I took several images in and around the area which I felt was an ideal example of creative destruction. This area is surrounded by investment and also regeneration. Once I had these images, I decided to use them in way that fit with the theme of creative destruction. I began working using glitches, which is the intentional corruption of an image using its metadata. There are several ways of creating a glitch and I worked through many different ways of doing so. The glitch typology was created using these results which I arranged in a grid, a common approach with typologies. I then used audacity which is a sound editing application. Taking the grid into audacity as a .raw file allowed me to cut and paste the waveform of the image. After this was done the resulting glitch typology, image was created.
One of the glitch images I created, the original was of the Tower at the Glasgow Science Center.
