One recent project by American artist Phillip Stearns are his Glitch Textiles, a collection of woven and knit blankets whose patterns are generated from images taken with short circuited cameras. Stearns comments: “These blankets are layered with irony: a digital photographic image, made with an intentionally broken (rewired) camera, is mechanically woven or knit into a photoblanket, an object commonly advertised as a kitsch memento. In this project, a keepsake for cherishing one’s memories now becomes a platform for fashioning corrupted memory, the cold logic of digital systems into soft, warm blankets.”
