Mathieu is a Canadian experimental visual artist who has been working in video art and photography for over 10 years. After receiving a degree in Fine Arts at Concordia University in Montreal in 2001, a few years later he moved to South Korea where he currently resides. His passion for learning and experimenting with a multitude of video manipulations led him to digital glitches and generative art. He was featured in several publications such as Art Nouveau, Redefine Magazine, 월간미술 (Art Monthly) and the UK newspaper The Guardian. He also created the leading group for glitch art called Glitch Artists Collective.

“I was experimenting with various layers in Sony Vegas. I superimposed HD videos of my wife that I previously glitched with another program, after messing around with some parameters I was able to come up with those rich colors and very unique waving pattern. It was interesting to go from a very high definition image to something completely abstract and colorful.”

This work demonstrates Color as an element of design in that there are a multitude of colors being showcased in the work, drawing the eye from areas of bright to dark and back again.
It demonstrates Variety as a principle of design in that the lines and colors of the piece are almost random, as if the artist purposefully manipulated the work to cause chaos.

We chose this work because it clearly shows literal distortion. You can imagine that you are jarred from one state of consciousness to another. Your paradigm has just shifted so suddenly and profoundly that you no longer align with the reality you were previously in. Your vision skews, the transmission is garbled, sound is muffled, your eyes can’t focus on the subject and you start to shut down - lost in this new chaotic reality though suspended in time.
