Glitch & Grain
Glitch & Grain is the brand for an exhibition which I curated within my Design History & Theory coursework in fourth year – ‘Designing the Future, Honouring the Past: Exploring the Relationship Between Analogue and Digital Graphic Design’. My curatorial rational speaks about how the two mediums can evolve and harmonise, rather than being kept at a distance, and through exploring these themes in DH&T, I now often make a conscious effort to combine the two in my practice.
Glitch + Grain is an exhibition set in The Buchstabenmuseum in Berlin, that showcases how analogue design has set the fundamental principles in graphic design, that even now in the digital world, we still refer back to. It celebrates analogue design, whilst admiring how graphic design has changed to what we know it as today, sparking a conversation for how the two can evolve simultaneously, without the depreciation of traditional techniques.
