TPW proudly presents the Digital Museum!

The Works of Crash-Stop: Playing with Hydra

Featuring 5 "Rooms" showing works of Crash-Stop, a Glitch-Artist from Ireland. His works are great: Amalgams of various styles and ideas, postmodern, political, but always somewhat ambivalent. Saying more would be saying to much, check it out yourself!

Some of his pieces genuinely look like the broken monitor my blind friend had. That's not a bad thing, just an observation.

Some of his works are created by deliberately (and sometimes targeted) breaking of hardware; this technique is called "circuit bending" :)
