𝘥[S T I L L]

𝘥[S T I L L] is a series of glitch ROM abstracts made from corrupted PS1 games. The series is an extension of my F A I L S T A T E collection of glitch animations but focuses on exceptional still frames, many of which had to be cut out during the animation process. Each 𝘥[S T I L L] is a crunchy, colorful abstraction from one of thirty-three different video game ROMs. Some are edited, but most are raw output from a corrupted PS1 game emulator.

While the F A I L S T A T E collection attempts to push its source material to the limits of recognition, 𝘥[S T I L L] forsakes this altogether, aiming instead to capture the aesthetics of the graphical mechanics underlying the PS1 console that made it so visually distinct. The collection takes its name from De Stijl, an artistic school whose principles emphasize straight lines and primary colors, and is strongly influenced by the Elementarism movement, a school derived from De Stijl that allowed for an expansive palette, asymmetry, and imbalance.
