I have been working on my touch.gl application (running on android), this version is about selfie creation in a glitchy way. I think it is really interesting when the users not just composing self portraits, but they are starting to use different decomposing options. The final selfie become saved and uploaded, published as a realtime result. I presented this project in Budapest during a one night show.
This is the time when i have to change. This blog is running since 3 years and i had more then 170k of visitors. But now i needed to create a portfolio site which will be online in 12 hours. This blog will be accessible from the new site, which is: davidszauder.com . During the last 2 years i have tried to divide myself between David Szauder and Pixelnoizz, but its just not working. The two identities became one or it was always one. This blog will remain the blog of my work (e.g. here i will post the updates for G_P_G and i will share some useless tutorials). So dear reader please come back a little bit later and check my new site… xxx
Here is a new selection from my ‘failed memories’. I have been starting to experiment with new solutions, like the ‘augmented portraits’.
In these images I apply the notion or phenomenon of „ lack of time”. When I started to develop the ‘Failed memories’ series, my intention was to examine and involve the notion of time as a factor into my images. To put it more simple, to visualise the factor and importance of time in the mechanisms of the memory, as without time there is no memory.
I wanted to create an algorithm which needs time to modify the image. More precisely in memory (=image) the traces of the passing of the time is visible. The characteristics of the feedback memory is attempted to be visualized, as it can be told that the process of melting is really similar sometimes, creating linear like visual elements. This is how I imagine the passing of the time in the operation of the memory.
Of course i’am working on some ‘classic failed memories’ compositions, here is a small preview:
Murphy, the story of a fireman: Murphy was the best fireman in the city, he stopped all the fires, until one day there was a fire in his mothers house…
Jack and Jacob were friends for a long time. they spent their childhood together, they went to the same school, and finally they both became astronauts, but… but there was just one place left in the spaceship.

Here is the third public update to the GPG software.
-faster
-now its working on 10.6-10.8
-a few more patterns (pls test the final pattern with different pattern maps, and the “striper” and the “BIT” from the pre effect)
-Syphon In and Out (thanks to V002)
-different resolutions (HD as well)
This is an experimental release because i did not test too much, but funny.
Iam experimenting with touch.GL and Failed Memories. Here are the first results. What i really like, is the way how i can have direct acces to the composition, i mean i can use my own fingers to place the image errors. In the code i used many random parameters, so these compositions are all unique, there is no undo and option to create the same transformation again. This is why i think touch.gl is a good tool, because iam spending more and more time to work on the composition side.
wayne and joseph
“this memory was captured in 1976 when wayne and joseph decided to remain friends for the rest of their life. Unfortunately Joseph became unstabile and decided to stop all the relations with the external world. This transformation shows, how his memory changed after this crisis. “
the story of billy
My latest creation is exhibited in the Centre of Pompidou (Paris, France), during the show called DigitART organised and curated by Abdel Bounane.
here is a small video demonstrating the basics of touch.GL
This is my first piece developed specially for mobile device and i have to say i enjoyed every part of it. The app is not finished, because some functions are still missing, which i would like to implement in the next couple of weeks (directly post compositions to web gallery, animated gif writing etc.)
Touch.GL- glitch art app. for android based mobile devices, utilising P5glitch library, with the kind help of Kelemen-Eordogh family.
When i have been begining to develop my birds and creatures, i did not think about the physical aspects of my work. Maybe i was waiting to a small “push”. But i got this support soon, from a fantastic curator, Nora O’Murchú. She invited me to exhibit on the show called “Run Computer Run” which takes place in Dublin.
here is a small text about the idea behind my work:
Creatures Creatures were created two years ago from artifacts. Creatures with human or animal-like outfit, though they are nothing else but well structured artifacts.
Artifact The notion has multiple meanings. In my case it is interpreted as a technological and an archeological notion. All my artifacts are based on a collection of virtual errors. If these errors are rearranged, new forms are expected to be resulted, that could be considered as byproducts. The new forms are created by a human (by me), however, through a technological process. Due to their human or animal-like forms those humans who are watching them, are guided back to the real world. (This is the archeological aspect of the artifact.)
Technology My technology is based on code, nodes, virtual digital technology. Usually I experiment with controllable random forms, i.e. with random artifacts. The result of the virtual digital technology will be always a computer artifact (digitally printed or screened two dimensional surface). To step forward (toward the state of the archeological artifact), this dimension should be left behind.
Hello World This is the exit from the virtual world. There are many possible ways of becoming real: real can be experienced physically, measured in a real space with its dimension, surface, colour, shadow, reflection, odor, or touch. An automatized, “without human process” way (3D printer for example) could be used, too, but it doesn’t lead to an artifact in its archeological sense. What is need is to use my senses, hands and skills to form or shape the object (based on the computer’s artifact).
Object This is the final result, made of material (stuff), built by me, hanging there as a bird (hanging as the gravity effects it). The object is exposed to light, inducing shadows. It is there, it is real, it is transubstantiated into an archeological artifact. The form is completely figurative.
this is the first sketch, the installation right now under realisation, i will post few images soon…
Simple gradient studies. I have been experimenting with different methods, how to use a simple (2 components) gradient to generate more complex structures.

mr and mrs sanday
beautiful sunday with the sanday family. They were a young and solid pair, but the geometry of their feelings are changed a lot during the years.
I have been starting to rethink my concept with glitch art, and how i would continue to develop my works. I have been starting to create pseudo narratives, based on old photos (most of them are unknown family photos), adding my different digital glitch processes. The basic idea is how to recode (decode) the meaning of the memory and how it can work together with my generated failure and pseudo narrativity.
story of mr.wolf
one day mr wolf wrote down too much numbers. when his memory was decoded the same numbers somehow modified his fragments.

mr. czettel found his skin full with his own memory fragments. But his moustache is still clean. Thanks g.d.

This will be a classic blog post:
My dear diary it was a long summer, i would start with the exhibition called “Gentle War”. This was a non traditional sport related exhibition somehow connected with summer games (which i skipped) but i made two really strong statement.
1. statement: triumph of failure (6 minutes, video), this video uses image error to destroy the most important moment of every sport act, the moment of victory.
here is the short version:
I used different methods of datamosh. My main goal was to use image error as a part of the concept.
2. statement: kleinfield fussball (installation), this work is a classic installation with sound. Its about a romantic and a non traditional meeting of two football gates. For me soccer is a really agressive sport, with a lot of tense. From the side of the visitors and from the side of the game as well. I just miss something more intimate, something more personal moment from this sport. My gates are trying to form a totally different situation with whispers, with the soft lights and with the close connection between them.
But lets go forward with this summer story. Last year we (Aniko Boros and Marett Klah) founded a cultural association in berlin called CultureDemocracy with short name CUD. This is all about to create platform for cultural activity. Our second project was Romarts, a short workshop with young roma filmakers. It happend in Panke, which is one of my favorite place in the heart of wedding. For this event we created a classic video installation environment with the head of the workshop (Arpad Bogdan) and of course with the participants of the workshop.
These videos we made at the beginning of the workshops, as a kind of self presentations. Every pair had 20 minutes to ask private questions from each other, and needed to memorize the answers. After the pairs needed to present each other. We filmed this act immediately, and installed as a start point of the exhibition. You can see all of the video materials here.
After all i was on vacation in the US. And i bought my small office mac, with mountain lion. Yes i have to confess i made a big mistake: i installed xcode tools. I did because i wanted to have quartz composer. Just in case. You know. But i needed to realize its missing. Well done i gone to the kineme forum and i found the solution. Now its working, but nothing else… Because my favorite creative environment and the big cat from the big hill are not friends. (GLtools, kineme3d and so on are not working). But who needs all this stuff if i can find built in artifacts with a standard image editor.
that was a short version of my summer.
