Glitch

The final mapping exercise in the collage series introduced motion, as opposed to the static two-dimensional image of the glitched artworks. The intention behind adding motion to the collage cartographic artworks was to use time as a design element. Generating an animation of images, sequentially collaged, offered differing perspectives by allowing for an image of a place to appear in its entirety, then morph into the next image. What previously appeared as an error (glitches in the cartographic artworks) emerged instead as a deliberate transition technique (morphing), allowing for a flickering movement between snippets of place. This method of visual interruption became a way to link disparate image data, creating a sense of continuity through fragmentation. In doing so, it introduced a new perspective on place, as a shifting, layered composition shaped by temporal disjunctions and perceptual overlaps rather than a singular, stable entity. This technique opened up a dynamic, non-linear understanding of place as something encountered in fragments revealed through movement across time.
